A constrição do nervo infraorbital induziu hipernocicepção térmica (ao frio e ao calor) unilateral entre 2 e 12 dias, hipernocicepção mecânica bilateral a partir do 12º dia e potencializou a fase II da resposta à formalina (1%) 12, 20 e 40 dias após a cirurgia. A desnervação neonatal com capsaicina aboliu a hipernocicepção ao frio e ao calor por 6 e 8 dias, respectivamente, e reduziu em 60% a fase II da resposta à formalina. A hipernocicepção térmica foi resistente ao tratamento com AINEs (indometacina, 4 mg/kg e celecoxibe, 10 mg/kg), mas reduzida pelo tratamento com dexametasona (0,5 mg/kg), anticonvulsivantes (carbamazepina, oxcarbazepina e gabapentina, 3 a 30 mg/kg), cloridrato de morfina (2,5 mg/kg) ou de lidocaína (10 mg/kg). A hipernocicepção mecânica só foi modificada por estes dois últimos tratamentos. A injeção de ET-1 (10 pmol) no lábio superior de ratos não operados induziu hipernocicepção mecânica e térmica. Nestes animais, receptores ETA e ETB são expressos no gânglio do trigêmeo, e a expressão dos mesmos é aumentada 15 dias, mas não 4 dias, após a constrição do nervo infraorbital. Em gânglios de animais não operados, receptores ETA foram identificados em fibras A e C, enquanto que receptores ETB foram detectados em fibras C e células da glia. Em gânglios de animais constritos, a presença destas fibras é menos evidente, de modo que a expressão de ambos receptores é menos nítida. No entanto, a expressão de receptores ETA em fibras A, bem como de receptores ETB em células da glia permanece bastante clara. A hipernocicepção térmica foi reduzida por antagonistas de receptores ETA (atrasentan, 10 mg/kg; BQ-123, 3 a 30 nmol), ETB (A-192621, 20 mg/kg; BQ-788, 3 a 30 nmol), ou de ambos (bosentan, 10 mg/kg). Em contraste, a hipernocicepção a estímulos químicos e mecânicos envolveu a ativação de receptores ETA e ETB, respectivamente. Estes resultados sugerem que as endotelinas são importantes mediadores da hipernocicepção orofacial e que receptores ETA e ETB podem constituir alvos terapêuticos potencialmente relevantes para o controle da dor neuropática trigeminal.

Modern concepts for the treatment of pain patients are based on the hypothesis that different clinical signs and symptoms reflect different underlying pathophysiological mechanisms of pain generation. To analyze these mechanisms, in 2006, the DFNS (German Research Network on Neuropathic Pain) developed a standardized protocol of quantitative sensory testing (QST) for a quantitative evaluation of pain generating mechanisms, creating reference values for hand, foot and face (masseter muscle) sites. However, there is a lack of orofacial reference values for the temporalis muscle and maxillary gingiva. This study aimed to determine reference values for QST protocol in the orofacial region and evaluate the effectiveness of two test stimuli during conditioned pain modulation (CPM) test. Sixty participants (30 men/30 women) were examined through the tests of mechanical detection (MDT), mechanical pain (MPT), wind-up ratio (WUR), pressure pain threshold (PPT) and conditioned pain modulation (CPM), to determine reference values in healthy subjects. Individuals were examined in a single session by a trained examiner under the protocol developed by the DFNS (2006). The CPM statistical evaluation was done by a multi-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) within the factors site (2 levels), time (2 levels), and sex (2 levels); comparing the absolute values of MPT and PPT. QST reference values comparison was made by a multi-way withinsubjects ANOVA performed considering the factors site (3 levels), side (2 levels) and sex (2 levels) (&#x3B1;=5%). MDT and MPT showed main effects of site (p<0.001), where the maxillary gingiva presented the highest thresholds for MDT and lowest MPT thresholds. In addition, PPT values of the anterior temporalis were lower than the hand (p<0.001). PPT (p<0.001) showed main effects of sex, where men presented higher thresholds. WUR did not show any main effects of sex, site or side. Both CPM test-stimulus (PPT and MPT) were capable of producing significantly higher thresholds during conditioning stimulus when compared to baseline thresholds (p<0.001). Temporalis CPM respondents were significantly higher (p=0.002) than hand respondents for both QSTs. The study concluded that orofacial QST profile of healthy participants could be influenced by the test site and sex. The CPM does not differ considering PPT and MPT as test stimuli, but the test site can influence its effects. / Um novo conceito de tratamento de síndromes dolorosas baseada em mecanismos de dor é baseado na hipótese de que diferentes sinais clínicos refletem alterações em diversos mecanismos de geração de dor. Para analisar estes mecanismos, em 2006, o DFNS (German Research Network on Neuropathic Pain) criou um protocolo padronizado de testes quantitativos sensoriais (QST) para uma avaliação quantitativa de mecanismos de geração de dor, criando valores de referência para mão, pé e face (músculo masseter). No entanto, ainda há falta de valores de referência para alguns testes quantitativos em diversas importantes regiões orofaciais como o músculo temporal anterior e a mucosa oral. Este estudo buscou determinar valores normativos dos QSTs nessas regiões e avaliou a eficácia de um estímulo condicionante (CPM) na percepção da dor por meio de dois estímulos teste (PPT e MPT). 60 sujeitos saudáveis (30 homens/30 mulheres) foram examinados com os testes de sensibilidade tátil (MDT), limiar de dor mecânico (MPT), somação temporal (WUR), limiar de dor à pressão (PPT) e condicionamento modulatório da dor (CPM), afim de determinar valores normativos na população. Os pacientes foram examinados em sessão única por um único examinador treinado sob o protocolo desenvolvido pelo DFNS. Para avaliação estatística dos dados da CPM uma análise de variância (ANOVA) foi utilizada comparando os fatores sítio (2 níveis), tempo (2 níveis) e sexo (2 níveis) entre os dois estímulos teste (MPT e PPT). Os valores de referência para QST foram comparados por uma ANOVA multi-vias considerando os fatores sítio (3 níveis), lado (2 níveis), e sexo (2 níveis) (&#x3B1;=5%). MDT e MPT mostraram efeitos principais de sítio (p<0,001), em que a mucosa apresentou os maiores limiares para MDT e menos limiares para MPT, quando comparada à mão e temporal anterior. PPT demonstrou efeitos principais de sítio e sexo. Limiares de dor à pressão do músculo temporal foram menores comparados com a mão (p<0,001) e homens apresentaram maiores limiares que as mulheres em todos os sítios. O teste WUR não apresentou nenhum efeito de sexo, sítio ou lado examinado. Os dois estímulos teste da CPM (MPT e PPT) foram capazes de produzir maiores limiares quando comparados aos estímulos não condicionados (p<0,001). Um maior número significativo de sujeitos respondeu positivamente a estimulação CPM no músculo temporal (p=0,002) para ambos estímulos teste. O estudo concluiu que o perfil sensorial avaliados por meio de QSTs pode ser influenciado pela região de exame e sexo. O efeito da CPM foi igualmente positivo para ambos estímulos teste. No entanto, seu grau de resposta depende da região avaliada.

Learning to Process Faces: Lessons from Development and Training

Nishimura, Mayu 07 1900 (has links)
The present collection of studies examined the development of the ability to recognize facial identity rapidly and accurately, using two complementary approaches: comparing the performance of children and adults, and by training observers to learn novel stimuli in a laboratory setting. Across studies, children 8 to 10 years old performed less accurately than adults, a finding that confirms previous research that face processing takes many years to develop. However, results from two studies suggest that by 8 years of age, children encode individual facial identities relative to the average of previously experienced faces, in a manner similar to adults. The findings suggest that the basic mental architecture supporting face recognition is in place by 8 years. Additionally, children improved their ability to recognize unfamiliar faces from various viewpoints after just two, one-hour sessions of training, although the rate of learning was more variable than that observed in adults. The results from two studies also revealed that children's recognition accuracies of facial identity were lower than those of adults. An examination of children's similarity judgments of facial identity revealed that such immaturities in children's face processing may stem from greater variability in the mental representation of facial identities, rather than from immaturities in the encoding process per se. Findings from a final study suggest that the ability to make fine perceptual discriminations among individual faces arises, in part, from experience differentiating faces at the individual level, unlike the experience with non-face objects that typically involves recognition at the category level. The findings from the studies presented in this thesis suggest that such perceptual expertise may arise only with years of experience recognizing individual faces, and with sufficient neural development to support a stable mental representation of individual facial identities. / Thesis / Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)

THREE DIMENSIONAL MODELING AND ANIMATION OF FACIAL EXPRESSIONS

Lin, Alice J. 01 January 2011 (has links)
Facial expression and animation are important aspects of the 3D environment featuring human characters. These animations are frequently used in many kinds of applications and there have been many efforts to increase the realism. Three aspects are still stimulating active research: the detailed subtle facial expressions, the process of rigging a face, and the transfer of an expression from one person to another. This dissertation focuses on the above three aspects. A system for freely designing and creating detailed, dynamic, and animated facial expressions is developed. The presented pattern functions produce detailed and animated facial expressions. The system produces realistic results with fast performance, and allows users to directly manipulate it and see immediate results. Two unique methods for generating real-time, vivid, and animated tears have been developed and implemented. One method is for generating a teardrop that continually changes its shape as the tear drips down the face. The other is for generating a shedding tear, which is a kind of tear that seamlessly connects with the skin as it flows along the surface of the face, but remains an individual object. The methods both broaden CG and increase the realism of facial expressions. A new method to automatically set the bones on facial/head models to speed up the rigging process of a human face is also developed. To accomplish this, vertices that describe the face/head as well as relationships between each part of the face/head are grouped. The average distance between pairs of vertices is used to place the head bones. To set the bones in the face with multi-density, the mean value of the vertices in a group is measured. The time saved with this method is significant. A novel method to produce realistic expressions and animations by transferring an existing expression to a new facial model is developed. The approach is to transform the source model into the target model, which then has the same topology as the source model. The displacement vectors are calculated. Each vertex in the source model is mapped to the target model. The spatial relationships of each mapped vertex are constrained.
