Age-Related Changes in Neuromodulatory Control of Bladder Micturition Contractions Originating in the Skin
The brainstem is essential for producing micturition contractions of the urinary bladder. Afferent input from perineal skin evoked by gentle mechanical stimulation inhibits micturition contractions by decreasing both ascending and descending transmissions between the brainstem and spinal cord. Dysfu...
