  1. Brain (PET) responses to vaginal-cervical self-stimulation in women with complete spinal cord injury: preliminary findings
    Beverly Whipple
    College of Nursing, Department of Psychology, Rutgers, State University of New Jersey, Newark, New Jersey, USA
    J Sex Marital Ther 28:79-86
    ..These preliminary findings suggest that the vagus nerves can convey genital sensory input directly to the brain in women, completely bypassing SCI at any level...
  2. Brain activation during vaginocervical self-stimulation and orgasm in women with complete spinal cord injury: fMRI evidence of mediation by the vagus nerves
    Barry R Komisaruk
    Department of Psychology, Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, Newark, NJ 07102, USA
    Brain Res 1024:77-88
    ..We conclude that the Vagus nerves provide a spinal cord-bypass pathway for vaginal-cervical sensibility in women with complete spinal cord injury above the level of entry into spinal cord of the known genitospinal nerves...
  3. Functional MRI of the brain during orgasm in women
    Barry R Komisaruk
    Department of Psychology, Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, Newark 07102, USA
    Annu Rev Sex Res 16:62-86
    ..We conclude that the Vagus nerves provide a spinal cord-bypass pathway for vaginal-cervical sensibility and that activation of this pathway can produce analgesia and orgasm...
  4. Differential effects of prenatal morphine exposure on analgesia produced by vaginocervical stimulation or systemic morphine administration in adult rats
    Ilona Vathy
    Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Ullmann 111, 1300 Morris Park Avenue, Bronx, NY 10461, USA
    Pharmacol Biochem Behav 72:165-70
    ..These findings provide evidence that the mechanisms underlying the two types of analgesia differ fundamentally...
  5. Vaginocervical stimulation releases oxytocin within the spinal cord in rats
    Giorgio R Sansone
    Department of Psychology, Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, Newark 07102, USA
    Neuroendocrinology 75:306-15
    ..The present findings provide evidence of a direct estrogen-dependent release of OT within the spinal cord in response to VS, presumably via descending oxytocinergic neurons...
  6. Neural pathways mediating vaginal function: the vagus nerves and spinal cord oxytocin
    Barry R Komisaruk
    Department of Psychology and Biological Sciences, Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, Newark, New Jersey 07102, USA
    Scand J Psychol 44:241-50
    ..This latter pathway bypasses the spinal cord and projects directly to the medulla oblongata, and thus can convey genital afferent activity despite complete spinal cord injury at any level...
