Effects of Local Vibration on Sensorimotor Cortical Activity Background Introduction Local Vibration (LV) is a technique that applies high-frequency (≥100 Hz) and low-amplitude ( mm) vibrations to muscles or tendons. Studies have shown that LV can promote brain plasticity through repeated activation of Ia afferents, but the specific mechanisms rema...

Insulin Activates Parasympathetic Hepatic-Related Neurons of the Paraventricular Nucleus of the Hypothalamus Through mTOR Signaling
