| Abstract |
A new presentation technique is introduce to describe the neuronal circuitry involved in the control of the uropoëtic system and its control mechanisms during the micturition cycle. This method is based on the preparation of flow charts and is applied to the discussion of four qualitative models which are derived from the literature. Opinions concerning the reflex arcs and supraspinal connections said to be involved in micturition and continence are different and sometimes contradictory. Little is known about supraspinal (inter)connections and their function in micturition control is still fragmentary. The control mechanisms which terminate voiding are not totally clear. Moreover, the role of the pelvic floor musculature in the control of the lower urinary tract is probably underestimated. The flow charts presented in this paper contribute to the future design of a single complete qualitative model representing the general central and peripheral nervous connections and control mechanisms. Such a model would provide an approach for future research in neuromodulation and neurostimulation of the uropoëtic system and a reduced version could be used for quantitative modelling, e.g. in neural network simulations. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 26 May 2022.
All research outputs
#8,534,976
of 25,374,647 outputs
Outputs from Brain Structure and Function
#675
of 2,021 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#7,002
of 22,362 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Brain Structure and Function
#1
of 1 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,374,647 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 43rd percentile – i.e., 43% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,021 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 6.8. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 55% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 22,362 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 8th percentile – i.e., 8% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 1 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than all of them
