Abstract: The nucleus of the tractus solitarius (NTS) is a brain stem region critical to many physiologic processes and has been implicated in addiction to multiple classes of abused drugs, including alcohol (EtOH). That said, the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1152/jn.00125.2022
Abstract: Pulmonary vagal nociceptors defend the airways. Cardiopulmonary vagal nociceptors synapse in the nucleus tractus solitarius (NTS). Evidence has demonstrated convergence of cardiopulmonary nociceptors with afferents from carotid chemoreceptors. Whether sensory convergence occurs in motor nuclei… read more here.

Abstract: Dextromethorphan (DEX) presynaptically decreases glutamatergic transmission in second-order neurons of the nucleus tractus solitarius (TS). To clarify the inhibitory mechanism of DEX, the present study examined the interaction of DEX with cAMP. The effects of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1212/wnl.0000000000012614
Abstract: A 7-year-old girl with MEGD(H)EL [3-methylglutaconic aciduria, dystonia-deafness, (hepatopathy), encephalopathy, Leigh-like syndrome, SERAC1]1 presented with worsening respiratory compromise. The evaluation showed type II respiratory failure (e.g., hypercapnic) necessitating mechanical ventilation. Cerebral MRI demonstrated progression of… read more here.
