Editing Onuf's nucleus (section)

=== Neurotransmitters in Onuf's nucleus ===
The motoneurons in Onuf's nucleus contain a dense array of [[serotonin]] and [[norepinephrine]] [[Neurotransmitter receptor|receptors]] and [[neurotransmitters]] and are activated by [[glutamate]]. When the [[5-HT receptor|5-HT]] and [[Adrenergic receptor|NE receptors]] are stimulated, the guarding reflex occurs to prevent voiding of the [[Urinary bladder|bladder]] caused by unexpected abdominal pressure.<ref name=Thor>{{cite journal | last = Thor | first = KB | date = 2004 | title = Targeting serotonin and norepinephrine receptors in stress urinary incontinence | journal = International Journal of Gynecology & Obstetrics | volume = 86 | pages = S38–S52 | doi=10.1016/j.ijgo.2004.04.028| pmid = 15302566 | s2cid = 24259615 | doi-access = free }}</ref>
