  "summary": "The urinary bladder functions to store and release urine, yet how the sensation of bladder fullness is conveyed and perceived to the central nervous system is not understood. During bladder filling, the detrusor smooth muscle (DSM) generates phasic contractions, resulting in pressure fluctuations within the bladder. These transient pressure events drive bursts of afferent nerve activity, yet the…",
