Feasibility of kilohertz frequency alternating current neuromodulation of carotid sinus nerve activity in the pig (2019)
Journal Article
Fjordbakk, C. T., Miranda, J. A., Sokal, D., Donegà, M., Viscasillas, J., Stathopoulou, T.-R., Chew, D. J., & Perkins, J. D. M. (2019). Feasibility of kilohertz frequency alternating current neuromodulation of carotid sinus nerve activity in the pig. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-019-53566-8

Recent research supports that over-activation of the carotid body plays a key role in metabolic diseases like type 2 diabetes. Supressing carotid body signalling through carotid sinus nerve (CSN) modulation may offer a therapeutic approach for treati...

Investigation into pathophysiology of naturally occurring palatal instability and intermittent dorsal displacement of the soft palate (DDSP) in racehorses: Thyro-hyoid muscles fatigue during exercise (2019)
Journal Article
Cercone, M., Olsen, E., Perkins, J. D. M., Cheetham, J., Mitchell, L. M., & Ducharme, N. G. (2019). Investigation into pathophysiology of naturally occurring palatal instability and intermittent dorsal displacement of the soft palate (DDSP) in racehorses: Thyro-hyoid muscles fatigue during exercise. PLoS ONE, 14, https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0224524

Exercise induced intermittent dorsal displacement of the soft palate (DDSP) is a common cause of airway obstruction and poor performance in racehorses. The definite etiology is still unclear, but through an experimental model, a role in the developme...

Assessing pathological changes within the nucleus ambiguus of horses with Recurrent Laryngeal Neuropathy: an extreme, length-dependent axonopathy (2019)
Journal Article
Draper, A. C. E., Cahalan, S. D., Goodwin, D., Perkins, J. D. M., & Piercy, R. J. (2019). Assessing pathological changes within the nucleus ambiguus of horses with Recurrent Laryngeal Neuropathy: an extreme, length-dependent axonopathy. Muscle & Nerve, https://doi.org/10.1002/mus.26699

Equine recurrent laryngeal neuropathy (RLN) is a naturally occurring model of length‐dependent axonopathy characterised by asymmetrical degeneration of recurrent laryngeal nerve axons (RLn). Distal RLn degeneration is marked, however it is unclear wh...

Functional Electrical Stimulation following nerve injury in a Large Animal Model (2019)
Journal Article
Cercone, M., Jarvis, J., Ducharme, N., Perkins, J. D. M., Piercy, R. J., Willand, M., Mitchell, L., Sledziona, M., Soderholm, L. V., & Cheetham, J. (2019). Functional Electrical Stimulation following nerve injury in a Large Animal Model. Muscle & Nerve, 59(6), 717-725. https://doi.org/10.1002/mus.26460

Introduction: Controversy exists over the effects of functional electrical stimulation (FES) on reinnervation. We hypothesized that intramuscular FES would not delay reinnervation after recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLn) axonotmesis. Methods: RLn cryo‐i...

Electrode fabrication and interface optimization for imaging of evoked peripheral nervous system activity with electrical impedance tomography (EIT) (2019)
Journal Article

Electrode fabrication and interface optimization for imaging of evoked peripheral nervous system activity with electrical impedance tomography (EIT). Journal of Neural Engineering, 16, 016001. https://doi.org/10.1088/1741-2552/aae868

Objective. Non-invasive imaging techniques are undoubtedly the ideal methods for continuous monitoring of neural activity. One such method, fast neural electrical impedance tomography (EIT) has been developed over the past decade in order to image ne...
