Modelling afferent nerve responses to bladder filling
A sensation of fullness in the bladder is a regular experience, yet the mechanisms that act to generate this sensation remain poorly understood. This is an important issue because of the clinical problems that can result when this system does not function properly. The aim of the study group activity was to develop mathematical models that describe the mechanics of bladder filling, and how stretch modulates the firing rate of afferent nerves. Several models were developed, which were qualitatively consistent with experimental data obtained from a mouse model.

A Design Space Exploration (DSE) on Non-Invasive Sensing of Bladder Filling Using Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS)
Urinary Incontinence (UI) is a widespread medical condition that affects one person from every three or four Americans. Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) is a non-invasive under-study method for bladder filling sensation…
Vagus nerve manipulation and microglial plasticity in the prenatal brain
The efferent and afferent effects of the vagus nerve on the developing brain have remained enigmatic. Here we review the evidence of such effects on microglial plasticity in the sheep model of human fetal development, on…

Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS) is an established palliative treatment for drug resistant epilepsy. While effective for many patients, its mechanism of action is incompletely understood. Predicting individuals' response, o…
Relative Afferent Pupillary Defect Screening through Transfer Learning
Abnormalities in pupillary light reflex can indicate optic nerve disorders that may lead to permanent visual loss if not diagnosed in an early stage. In this study, we focus on relative afferent pupillary defect (RAPD), …
