This article summarizes anatomical, neurophysiological, pharmacological, and brain
imaging studies in humans and animals that have provided insights into the neural circuitry …

Functions of the lower urinary tract to store and periodically eliminate urine are regulated by
a complex neural control system in the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral autonomic ganglia …

Results from functional brain scanning have shown that neural control of the bladder
involves many different regions. Yet, many aspects of this complex system can be simplified …

The lower urinary tract has two main functions, storage and periodic expulsion of urine, that
are regulated by a complex neural control system in the brain and lumbosacral spinal cord …

The functions of the lower urinary tract to store and periodically eliminate urine are regulated
by a complex neural control system in the brain and spinal cord that coordinates the activity …

Dr D e G roat and Wickens has reviewed the central neural mechanisms controlling the
lower urinary tract with a major focus on the brain stem circuitry that mediates the switch‐like …

The periaqueductal gray matter (PAG), as one of the mostly preserved evolutionary
components of the brain, is an axial structure modulating various important functions of the …

Despite the crucial role of the brain in the control of the human lower urinary tract, little is
known about the supraspinal mechanisms regulating micturition. To investigate the central …

Stress plays a role in the exacerbation and possibly the development of functional lower
urinary tract disorders. Chronic water avoidance stress (WAS) in rodents is a model with …

The neurological coordination of the lower urinary tract can be analyzed from the
perspective of motor neurons or sensory neurons. First, sensory nerves with receptors in the …
