“…Adapted from Schliack and Schiffter (1979), Fig. 1 In spite of the existence of other cerebro-efferent pathways to the sudomotor neurons in the spinal cord, the hypothalamus should be regarded as the main region which governs sweat secretion (Schiffter & Pohl, 1972;Schliack & Schiffter, 1979). Since the hypothalamus is also the main center for thermoregulation, an older view provided by Kuno (1956) restricted hypothalamic elicitation of sweat secretion to thermal sweating, which appears on the whole body surface except for palms and soles (Sect.…”

A quartercentury later the scientific study of psychology also originated in Germany. Over time, however, the focus of psychological research, including the then new field of psychophysiology, shifted to the United States and Great Britain. This trend to the dominance of the United States and Great Britain was prolonged by the devastation of World War II and its aftermath in Germany (and elsewhere in continental Europe). Slowly at first and then more rapidly, German psychological science, including psychophysiology, recovered. For several decades German psychophysiologists have been a major force in psychophysiology. With the publication of the first English edition of this book in 1992, it became essential for electrodermal researchers worldwide again to learn from our German colleagues.When I came into psychophysiology in the mid-1960s, electrodermal activity was the most common system studied. Because of its popularity, a large literature had emerged on the physiological mechanisms producing these changes in the electrical properties of the skin and on the best methodology for recording them. Major reviews and/or chapters had been published or soon were to be published by Peter Venables and Irene Martin, Robert Edelberg, and David Lykken. Later reviews and articles were published by Venables and Margaret Christie, and by me. A chapter in 1990 by Michael Dawson, Anne Schell, and Diane Filion was especially noteworthy for its coverage of the psychological applications of electrodermal measures.Note that all these publications were journal articles and chapters and that most of them focused almost entirely on mechanisms and methodology. The publication of this book, first in German and then in English, provided the first book on electrodermal activity, and one that extensively covers psychological applications as well as mechanisms and methodology. Again to quote David Lykken back in 1992, "The return of German scholarship to what I shall loftily call the high table of psychophysiology is exemplified by this fine book, the most comprehensive treatise on the electrodermal system to appear in any language . . ." I completely agree with v that evaluation. Professor Boucsein's outstanding scholarship has produced a book of such breadth of coverage ...

“…58 On the contrary to stimulation, lesions in the subthalamic area can induce an ipsilateral Horner syndrome. [59][60][61][62][63] Carmel noted an ipsilateral sympathetic deficit with a Horner's syndrome and hypohydrosis in almost 50% of his patients with an intended thalamotomy. He plotted the lesions inducing a sympathetic deficit on the Schaltenbrand atlas, where they were shown to be restricted to the zona incerta, just behind and slightly medial to the STN.…”

Postoperative management of subthalamic nucleus stimulation for Parkinson's disease

et al. 2002

Abstract:The postoperative neurologic management of patients with deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) for Parkinson' s disease is a complex dynamic process that involves a progressive increase in stimulation intensity and a parallel decrease in antiparkinsonian medication while assessing the interactions of both treatments. Neurologists responsible for postoperative management of patients receiving STN DBS must have expert knowledge of the electroanatomy of the subthalamic area and be familiar with the medical treatment of motor and nonmotor symptoms, including the management of long-term complications of levodopa treatment. Neurosurgeons who perform DBS need to understand the principles that guide the postoperative adaptation of treatment. This article defines guidelines for setting stimulation parameters, adapting drugs and managing adverse effects.

“…Stereotactic surgery in the zona incerta of the subthalamus leads to ipsilateral sympathetic deficit syndromes such as anhidrosis and Horner syndrome. These effects are similar to symptoms of the Wallenberg syndrome [45], which results in deficits due to ischemia in the dorsolateral oblongate medulla. Lesions in the cerebral hemispheres and the limbic system mediated via corticospinal or extrapyramidal pathways usually lead to contralateral sympathetic effects [45].…”

“…These descending tracts are located dorsally and medially near the central grey matter and floor of the fourth ventricle [43,44]. They pass through the prerubral field and are located more laterally in the pontine tegmentum and reticular formation of the medulla [21] and continue to descend to the spinal cord without crossing [45]. Thus, the hypothalamus contributes to the regulation of a variety of visceral reflex activities via this descending system.…”

The sympathetic trunk and its neural pathway to the upper limb: review of the literature

Zusammenfassung. Grundlagen: Kenntnisse der Anatomie des Truncus sympathicus und des autonomen Nervensystems sind von großer Bedeutung in der Sympathikuschirurgie. Allerdings existiert eine Vielzahl an unterschiedlichen sympathischen Nervenverbindungen zur oberen Extremität, wobei der Großteil im ersten Zwischenrippenraum zu liegen kommt. Aus unterschiedlichsten Gründen führt die chirurgische Sympathektomie im Bereich der oberen thorakalen Ganglien zu einer Unterbrechung der sympathischen Innervation der oberen Extremität. Entscheidend ist, diese variablen Verbindungen zu durchtrennen, um optimale chirurgische Ergebnisse zu erzielen.Methodik: Diese Arbeit basiert auf einer Durchsicht der Literatur der letzten 80 Jahre über die Anatomie des kranialen thorakalen Truncus sympathicus und seiner Verbindungen, die in der Sympathikuschirurgie von besonderer Bedeutung sind. Die Evaluation basiert auf einer Literaturrecherche in der Medline, ergänzt um Wissen aus Anatomiebüchern; es wird zudem eine Übersicht über die historische Entdeckung des sympathischen Systems gegeben.Ergebnisse: Zwei wichtige Ergebnisse liegen vor. 1. Intrathorakale Nervenverbindungen zwischen zweitem und erstem intrathorakalen Nerv dürften sympathische Fasern der oberen Extremität zuführen. Diese Verbindungen kommen bei mehr als 50 % der Menschen vor und dürften für Misserfolge und/oder Rezidive nach Sympathektomie verantwortlich sein.2. Aktuelle chirurgische Studien weisen darauf hin, dass das Hauptganglion für die sympathische Innervation der oberen Extremität im Segment T4 liegen könnte. Dies steht jedoch im Gegensatz zur bisher anerkannten Ansicht, dass das Hauptganglion der sympathischen Innervation für die obere Extremität das T2-Ganglion sei. Bislang können diese klinischen Erkenntnisse nicht durch anatomisches Wissen erklärt werden.Schlussfolgerungen: Profunde anatomische Kenntnisse sind eine unabdingbare Voraussetzung, um in der Sympathikuschirurgie optimale Ergebnisse zu erzielen.Schlüsselwörter: Truncus sympathicus, Thorakoskopie, Sympathektomie, Nervenverbindungen.Summary. Background: Knowledge of the anatomy of the sympathetic trunk and the autonomous nervous system is of great importance for sympathetic surgeons. However, a variety of different sympathetic pathways to the upper limb exist, most of them appearing in the first intercostal space. For several reasons, surgical sympathectomy of the upper thoracic ganglia interrupts the sympathetic innervation to the upper limb. It is crucial to reach these variable connections for gaining optimal surgical results.Methods: This paper is based on a review of the literature over a period of 80 years, concerning the anatomy of the upper thoracic sympathetic connections and their importance for surgical sympathectomy. The evaluation is based on research in Medline, broadened by knowledge of anatomical books; a review on the historical discovery of the sympathetic system is also provided.Results: There are two main findings.(1) Intrathoracic rami connecting the second and first thoracic nerve pr...
