Nerve Growth Factor Regulates the Firing Patterns and Synaptic Composition of Motoneurons [PDF]
Target-derived neurotrophins exert powerful synaptotrophic actions in the adult brain and are involved in the regulation of different forms of synaptic plasticity.

Endoscopic endonasal management of recurrent petrous apex cholesterol granuloma. [PDF]
Petrous apex cholesterol granulomas (PACG) are uncommon lesions. Recurrence following transcranial or endonasal approaches to aerate the cyst occurs in up to 60% of cases. We describe the technical nuances pertinent to the endonasal endoscopic management

Abducens Nerve Neuropraxia due to Acute Bacterial Rhinosinusitis: Case Report and Literature Review
Background. Acute bacterial rhinosinusitis (ABRS) is a common infection of the paranasal sinuses that can lead to complications such as orbital and intracranial extension. The abducens nerve course is adjacent to the sphenoid sinus.

Gradenigo Syndrome: Retro-orbital Pain, Abducens Palsy, and Petrous Apicitis
Gradenigo's syndrome is a rarely encountered triad of otitis media, retro-orbital pain, and abducens nerve palsy. Originally described in the early 1900s by Giuseppe Gradenigo, it is the physical manifestation of a lesion involving the petrous apex of ...

Abducens Nerve Neurinoma —Case Report—
A 61-year-old female presented with an abducens nerve neurinoma manifesting as diplopia and facial numbness. The tumor was totally removed, and the exact origin was confirmed intraoperatively. Neuroradiological imaging and clinical history are frequently insufficient to obtain an accurate preoperative diagnosis of intracranial neurinoma.

A Cholinergic Synaptically Triggered Event Participates in the Generation of Persistent Activity Necessary for Eye Fixation [PDF]
An exciting topic regarding integrative properties of the nervous system is how transient motor commands or brief sensory stimuli are able to evoke persistent neuronal changes, mainly as a sustained, tonic action potential firing.
