Local Accumulation of Axonal Mitochondria in the Optic Nerve Glial Lamina Precedes Myelination
Frontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2021 Mitochondria are essential for neurons and must be optimally distributed along their axon to fulfill local functions. A high density of mitochondria has been observed in retinal ganglion cell (RGC) axons of an unmyelinated region of the optic nerve ...

Extent and mechanism of sealing in transected giant axons of squid and earthworms [PDF]
, 1994 Transected axons are often assumed to seal at their cut ends by the formation of continuous membrane barriers that allow for the restoration of function in the axonal stumps.

The Genetics of Axonal Transport and Axonal Transport Disorders
PLoS Genetics, 2006 Neurons are specialized cells with a complex architecture that includes elaborate dendritic branches and a long, narrow axon that extends from the cell body to the synaptic terminal. The organized transport of essential biological materials throughout the neuron is required to support its growth, function, and viability.

The role of higher-order thalamus during learning and correct performance in goal-directed behavior
eLife, 2022 The thalamus is a gateway to the cortex. Cortical encoding of complex behavior can therefore only be understood by considering the thalamic processing of sensory and internally generated information.

Cortical AAV-CNTF gene therapy combined with intraspinal mesenchymal precursor cell transplantation promotes functional and morphological outcomes after spinal cord injury in adult rats [PDF]
, 2018 Ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF) promotes survival and enhances long-distance regeneration of injured axons in parts of the adult CNS. Here we tested whether CNTF gene therapy targeting corticospinal neurons (CSN) in motor-related regions of the ...

Resveratrol promotes axonal regeneration via PI3K/Akt pathway in rats after intracerebral hemorrhage
Di-san junyi daxue xuebao, 2019 Objective To investigate the mechanism by which resveratrol (RES) promotes axonal regeneration in rats after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and explore the role of the PI3K/Akt pathway that regulates the AMPKα pathway.

Axon Membrane Skeleton Structure is Optimized for Coordinated Sodium Propagation [PDF]
PLOS Computational Biology, 13, Issue 2, e1005407, (2017), 2016 Axons transmit action potentials with high fidelity and minimal jitter. This unique capability is likely the result of the spatiotemporal arrangement of sodium channels along the axon. Super-resolution microscopy recently revealed that the axon membrane skeleton is structured as a series of actin rings connected by spectrin filaments that are held ...
