Publications with Hyperlinks and Citation Information

🧠 1. New Insights into the Cytoarchitecture of the Rat Spinal Trigeminal Nucleus

DOI: 10.7546/CRABS.2024.07.11

This study delves into the structural organization of the spinal trigeminal nucleus (SpV), a pivotal relay station for processing sensory information from the face, head, and oral cavity. Historically considered a continuous structure, it was revealed to be subdivided into three distinct subnuclei: oral, interpolar, and caudal. Utilizing histological techniques, the researchers identified unique cytoarchitectural features characteristic of each subnucleus, providing insights into the spatial distribution and density of neuronal populations across the rostrocaudal extent of the SpV. These findings enhance the understanding of the neural circuitry underlying sensory processing in the trigeminal system and may have implications for the diagnosis and treatment of disorders involving altered trigeminal function. proceedings.bas.bg+1proceedings.bas.bg+1

🧬 2. Expression of Neurotrophic Factors and Their Receptors in the Rat Spinal Trigeminal Nucleus

DOI: 10.7546/CRABS.2024.09.15

In this follow-up study, the authors investigated the expression of neurotrophic factors—nerve growth factor (NGF), brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), neurotrophin-3 (NT-3), and glial-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF)—and their corresponding receptors in the rat SpV. Using primary antibodies against these neurotrophic factors and their receptors, the researchers found immunoreactive cells scattered along the entire length of the nucleus in all three subnuclei. Notably, the majority of spinal trigeminal neurons were intensely immunostained for all the neurotrophic factors examined and were richly endowed with their Trk receptors. The study also observed regional variations in the expression levels of these factors and receptors within the subnuclei. Given that these neurotrophic factors are involved in mechanisms of central sensitization in trigeminal nociceptive pathways, the findings suggest that neurotrophins may contribute to a better understanding of the fundamental mechanisms of orofacial pain. proceedings.bas.bg

Conclusion

Andrey Popatanasov is a highly interdisciplinary researcher with a solid academic and professional foundation. His efforts to integrate diverse scientific domains (psychology, neuroscience, physics, biology) are commendable. He has made meaningful contributions to both theoretical and applied research, especially in brain science, cognitive behavior, and molecular biology.
