GABAergic Neuron Specification in the Spinal Cord, the Cerebellum, and the Cochlear Nucleus by Kei Hori, Mikio Hoshino

“…The elaborate balance of the activities of the two types is very important to elicit higher brain function, because its imbalance may cause neurological disorders, such as epilepsy and hyperalgesia. In the central nervous system, inhibitory neurons are mainly represented by GABAergic ones with some exceptions such as glycinergic. …”

F-Waves – Physiology and Clinical Uses by Morris A. Fisher

“…If analyzed correctly, current reports would indicate that F-waves are the most sensitive and reliable nerve conduction study for evaluating polyneuropathies, can be abnormal in focal proximal nerve dysfunction, can be at least as sensitive as needle electromyography for defining lumbosacral radiculopathies, and can provide a meaningful physiological window into disorders of the central nervous system. Reports supporting these statements and their clinical relevance are discussed.…”

NGF, Brain and Behavioral Plasticity by Alessandra Berry, Erika Bindocci, Enrico Alleva

“…However, the successive finding of its release in the bloodstream of male mice following aggressive encounters and its presence in the central nervous system led to the hypothesis that variations in brain NGF levels, caused by psychosocial stressor, and the related alterations in emotionality, could be functional to the development of proper strategies to cope with the stressor itself and thus to survive. …”
