Update on the connectivity of the paraventricular nucleus of the thalamus and its position within limbic corticostriatal circuits.

The paraventricular nucleus of the thalamus (PVT) is generating interest because of evidence establishing a role for this midline thalamic nucleus in behavior. Early tracing studies demonstrated that afferent fibers from the PVT and limbic cortex converge with dopamine fibers within subcompartments of the ventral striatum. Subsequent tracing studies expanded on these observations by establishing that the PVT provides a dense projection to a continuum of striatal-like regions that include the nucleus accumbens and the extended amygdala.

Department of Audiology, Faculty of Health Sciences, Üsküdar University, Istanbul, Turkey.
Importance: Auricular acupuncture (AA) regulates the function of systems or organs by stimulating specific regions of the body via efferent pathways in the central areas through the auricle. This case aims to investigate the causes of facial contractions observed during AA.
Case Presentation: A female patient, diagnosed with depression and refusing medication, was referred for AA.
Sex differences in heart rate and heart rate variability responses to transcutaneous auricular vagal nerve stimulation in rats.

The identification of reliable biomarkers of transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) responsiveness is a key challenge both at the clinical and preclinical level. Vagally-mediated heart rate variability (vmHRV), a surrogate measure of cardiac vagal efferent activity, is an ideal candidate. Yet, the effects of taVNS on vmHRV remain inconclusive, likely due to the high degree of heterogeneity in stimulation protocols (e.

Electronic address:
Obesity is a widespread global health concern that affects a significant portion of the population and is associated with reduced quality of life, morbidity, and mortality. It is considered a pandemic, with its prevalence constantly rising in Western countries. As a result, numerous studies have focused on understanding the elements that contribute to obesity.

Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences, University of Iowa, Iowa City, Iowa, USA.
Purpose: To assess the trigeminal blink reflex in chronic orbital pain and its modification by orbital anesthetic injections using a novel blink reflexometer.
Methods: The EyeStat (Generation 3, Blinktbi, Inc. Charleston, SC) is a device that triggers and analyzes the carbon dioxide puff-evoked trigeminal blink response.
