Sensory hair cells are of two types, including flask-shaped inner hair cells (IHC) and tube-like outer hair cells (OHC).The
afferent nerve supply has sensory neurons that are ascending and carry electrical inputs from the cochlea to the auditory nervous system.
The methods of administration are intrathecal drug application or dorsal rhizotomy of lumbar and sacral
afferent nerve roots [3, 6, 14].
Detection thresholds for stimuli in humans and monkeys : comparison with thresholds events in mechanoreceptive
afferent nerve fibers innervating the monkey hand.
Immunofluorescently identified AMPAR patches and NMDAR patches were counted at
afferent nerve fibers (ANFs).
Auditory brainstem response wave I was mainly sourced from the cochlear
afferent nerve,9 and the auditory brainstem response missed from wave I, suggesting that the lesions of auditory branch and/or inner hair cells, inner hair cells and afferent synapses of VIII brain nerve leads to unsynchronized nervous discharge of the nerve fibers.
Externally administered AEA and CB1 agonist, arachidonyl-2-chloroethylamide (ACEA), have been shown to significantly reduce the firing rate of
afferent nerve fibers in OA joints, but not in the control joints, suggesting a tonic release of endocannabinoids at the joint level in OA.
Experimentally stimulation of vagal
afferent nerve fibers can have profound effects on the activity of the contralateral vagal efferent (increased activity) and bilaterally of cardiac sympathetic efferent nerve fibers (inhibition of activity) [9].
(1) The peripheral pathway: noxious stimuli act on the receptors in the GI mucosa and are transmitted from primary
afferent nerve fibers to primary sensory neurons in the dorsal root ganglia(DRG).
Such cytokines released after intervertebral disc herniation may induce increased neuronal excitability in the primary
afferent nerve fibers and reduced axonal speed of conduction and may also promote nerve injury [1, 5, 6].
Consequently, an action potential emerges in the
afferent nerve innervating this vessel.
