area postrema

Research has continued today around the world on the functions of the area postrema.

The area postrema also has a significant role in the discussion of Parkinson's disease.

All four can be demonstrated in the area postrema.

A recent study has indicated the existence of prolactin-binding sites specific to the area postrema.

The area postrema acts to directly monitor the chemical status of the organism.

Specialized ependymal cells are found within the area postrema.

Drugs that treat Parkinson's disease using dopamine have a strong effect on the area postrema.

These project to the area postrema and nucleus tractus solitarii in the brain.

The area postrema is a medullary structure in the brain that controls vomiting.

The area postrema is also indicated in an insulin treatment against type 1 and type 2 diabetes.

As a defense mechanism, the area postrema induces vomiting to prevent further intoxication.

The area postrema is a small protuberance found at the inferoposterior limit of the fourth ventricle.

The area postrema is a critical homeostatic integration center for humoral and neural signals.

Emesis is a defense mechanism controlled by the area postrema of the medulla oblongata.

The high density of dopamine receptors in the area postrema makes it very sensitive to the dopamine-enhancing drugs.

This targeting of the area postrema allows an improvement of glycaemic control without causing weight gain.

Since the drug acts on the area postrema, the doses must be titrated slowly to avoid inducing nausea in the patient.

In addition, the area postrema and nucleus tractus solitarii also signal directly to subfornical organ.

The area postrema is situated just before the obex, the inferior apex of the caudal ventricular floor.

Both the funiculus separans and area postrema have a similar thick ependyma-containing tanycyte covering.

The area postrema connects to the nucleus of the solitary tract and other autonomic control centers in the brainstem.

The area postrema, one of the circumventricular organs, detects toxins in the blood and acts as a vomit-inducing center.

However, it is known that the area postrema is the locus, or site, of the chemoreceptor trigger zone for vomiting.

These actions, which are mostly carried out via a glucose-sensitive part of the brain stem, the area postrema, may be over-ridden during hypoglycemia.

There are also studies still currently underway to determine the effect of ablation of the area postrema on hypertension and cardiovascular function.
