Facilitation of reflex swallowing from the pharynx and larynxJunichi Kitagawa
Department of Physiology, Nihon University School of Dentistry, Tokyo, Japn
J Oral Sci 51:167-71. 2009..The present findings suggest that spatiotemporal summation of afferent signals from the GPN-ph and SLN results in an increase of motoneuronal activity in the medullary swallowing center, thus enhancing reflex swallowing...

Department of Physiology, School of Dentistry, Nihon University, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, Japan
J Neurophysiol 94:4178-87. 2005..The present findings suggest that the hyperexcitability of GN neurons could be involved in abnormal noxious pain sensations with advancing age... - Topical capsaicin application causes cold hypersensitivity in awake monkeysHiroshi Kamo
Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Nihon University School of Dentistry, Tokyo, Japan
J Oral Sci 50:175-9. 2008..The present findings suggest that topical application of capsaicin to the facial skin induces reversible hypersensitivity to a facial cold stimulus in behaving monkeys... - Activation of trigeminal intranuclear pathway in rats with temporomandibular joint inflammationTakako Sato
Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Nihon University School of Dentistry, Tokyo, Japan
J Oral Sci 47:65-9. 2005..Fos/FG cells were only observed in the deep laminae of the Vc/C(1,2) zone.

Department of Physiology, Nippon Dental University, School of Life Dentistry at Tokyo, Tokyo, Japan
Brain Res 1152:64-74. 2007..These results suggested that I(A) and I(K) had independent effects regulating the intrinsic firing properties of the action potential number and timing, respectively, in adult rat TTX-R TG neurons... - Allopurinol gel mitigates radiation-induced mucositis and dermatitisJunichi Kitagawa
Department of Physiology, Nippon Dental University, School of Life Dentistry at Tokyo, Tokyo, Japan
J Radiat Res 49:49-54. 2008..These results suggest that allopurinol gel application can mitigate inflammation reactions associated with radiation-induced oral mucositis and dermatitis... - Central neuronal changes after nerve injury: neuroplastic influences of injury and agingKoichi Iwata
Department of Physiology, School of Dentistry, Nihon University, Tokyo, Japan
J Orofac Pain 18:293-8. 2004..These observations suggest that the changes in neuronal activity in the aged rats likely corresponded to the changes observed in the rat model of peripheral nerve injury...
