In experiments over the mature white female rats the influence of the hypercorticoidizm (simulated by daily parenteral injection of hydrocortisone in a dose of 3 mg/kg/days for 30 days) on some parameters of the M-response of the forward tibial muscle with a different frequency of stimulation of the low-tibial nerve is studied. It is established that the hypercorticoidizm is followed by lengthening of the chronaxia of the forward tibial muscle at its indirect irritation (by 69 per cent), deterioration of stability of M-response's generation, lengthening of the latent period (by 30 per cent) and to reduction of amplitude (by 29 per cent) of single M-responses against increase in frequency of polyphase potentials (to 35 per cent). At animals with hypercorticoidizm in the range of low frequencies of nerve's stimulation (10-30 imp/s) periodic generation of higher-amplitude M-responses, than at control, against their low initial amplitude was observed, which can testify in a favor of an initial partial blocking of synapses. The hypercorticoidizm was followed more expressed, in comparison with control, decreasing of M-responses' amplitude in the process of increasing in frequency of low-tibial nerve's stimulation, decreasing in frequency of nerve's stimulation on achievement which inverse relationship between M-responses' amplitude and frequency of nerve's irritation was established.

The management of postamputation pain remains a significant clinical challenge, with existing therapeutic approaches often yielding inconsistent outcomes. Neuromodulation techniques, particularly peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS), have emerged as promising interventions. However, the evidence supporting their effectiveness in treating phantom limb pain (PLP) and residual limb pain (RLP) remains limited.

Spasticity affects up to 80% of individuals with cerebral palsy and can lead to pain and difficulties with performing activities of daily living. If left untreated, spasticity can progress to contracture and neuro-orthopedic deformities. Cryoneurolysis is an emerging and mini-invasive ultrasound-guided technique that causes secondary axonotmesis of peripheral nerves through the formation of an ice ball and may result in months to years of improved range of motion and reduced pain in patients with spasticity.

Significance: The precise identification and preservation of functional brain areas during neurosurgery are crucial for optimizing surgical outcomes and minimizing postoperative deficits. Intraoperative imaging plays a vital role in this context, offering insights that guide surgeons in protecting critical cortical regions.

Aim: We aim to evaluate and compare the efficacy of intraoperative thermal imaging (ITI) and intraoperative optical imaging (IOI) in detecting the primary somatosensory cortex, providing a detailed assessment of their potential integration into surgical practice.

The recent identification of Piezo ion channels demonstrating a mechano-sensitive impact on neurons revealed distinct Piezo-1 and 2 types. While Piezo-1 predominates in neurons linked to non-sensory stimulation, such as pressure in blood vessels, Piezo-2 predominates in neurons linked to sensory stimulation, such as touch. Piezo-1 and 2 have a major bidirectional impact on transient receptor potential (TRP) ion channels, and TRPs also impact neurotransmitter release.
