DRG microstimulation evokes postural responses in awake, standing felines

We have demonstrated previously that microstimulation in the dorsal root ganglia (DRG) can selectively evoke activity in primary afferent neurons in anesthetized cats. This study describes the results of experiments focused on characterizing the …

Machine learning prediction of emesis and gastrointestinal state in ferrets

Although electrogastrography (EGG) could be a critical tool in the diagnosis of patients with gastrointestinal (GI) disease, it remains under-utilized. The lack of spatial and temporal resolution using current EGG methods presents a significant …

Selectivity of afferent microstimulation at the DRG using epineural and penetrating electrode arrays

We have shown previously that microstimulation of the lumbar dorsal root ganglia (L5-L7 DRG) using penetrating microelectrodes selectively recruits distal branches of the sciatic and femoral nerves in an acute preparation. However, a variety of …
