This circuit becomes overstimulated during a mesencephalic " fit ".
2.
However, akinetic mutism most often appears in two different forms : frontal and mesencephalic.
3.
From caudal to rostral ( ascending from the medulla to the midbrain ), they are the mesencephalic nuclei.
4.
One mnemonic for remembering the structures of the midbrain involves visualizing the mesencephalic cross-section as an upside down bear face.
5.
Two types of sensory fibers have cell bodies in the mesencephalic nucleus : proprioceptor fibers from the jaw and mechanoreceptor fibers from the teeth.
6.
Signals from muscle spindles on the tongue travel through the hypoglossal nerve, moving onto the lingual nerve which synapses on the mesencephalic nucleus.
7.
Importantly, such short and intermittent treatment protocols are neuroprotective against neurotoxicity induced with MPTP and MPP + in cultured midbrain ( mesencephalic ) and hippocampal organotypic slices.
8.
By the mid-1990s, Changeux concentrated most of his interest on the function of nicotinic receptors in the basal ganglia and in particular the mesencephalic dopaminergic system.
9.
He suffered from mesencephalic atrophy, a serious degenerative illness that affected his speech and his movements, paralyzing part of his body and confining him to a wheelchair.
10.
They are automatic activities, requiring little conscious attention and involving a sensory component ( feedback about touch-position ) processed at the unconscious level in the mesencephalic nucleus.
