Neural Regeneration Research, 2018 Until now, nerve conduction has been described on the basis of equivalent circuit model and cable theory, both of which supposed closed electric circuits spreading inside and outside the axoplasm.

Mechanical Surface Waves Accompany Action Potential Propagation [PDF]
, 2014 Many studies have shown that a mechanical displacement of the axonal membrane accompanies the electrical pulse defining the Action Potential (AP). Despite a large and diverse body of experimental evidence, there is no theoretical consensus either for the

Schwann cell to axon transfer of ribosomes: toward a novel understanding of the role of glia in the nervous system [PDF]
, 2008 Schwann cells play pivotal roles in the development and maintenance of the peripheral nervous system. Here, we show that intact sciatic nerve axons of mice contain a small population of ribosomes, which increases by several orders of magnitude when axons

Alphaherpesviruses and the Cytoskeleton in Neuronal Infections
Viruses, 2011 Following infection of exposed peripheral tissues, neurotropic alphaherpesviruses invade nerve endings and deposit their DNA genomes into the nuclei of neurons resident in ganglia of the peripheral nervous system.

The ultrastructure of nerve axoplasm [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series B - Biological Sciences, 1937 In previous papers on the micellar organization of the nerve fibre, attention has been directed almost entirely to the lipoid-containing sheaths. Polarized light and X-ray diffraction studies have emphasized the similarity of the architecture of these structures over a wide range of animal forms, from the highly myelinated nerves of vertebrates to the ...

Folia Neuropathologica, 2019 The present study aimed at exploring a potentially neuroprotective effect of topiramate (TPM), one of the most commonly used newer-generation, broad-spectrum, antiepileptic drugs against ultrastructural damage of hippocampal synaptic endings in the ...

Regulation of Axonal Transport by Protein Kinases [PDF]
, 2015 The intracellular transport of organelles, proteins, lipids, and RNA along the axon is essential for neuronal function and survival. This process, called axonal transport, is mediated by two classes of ATP-dependent motors, kinesins, and cytoplasmic ...

Neuropathogenic Forms of Huntingtin and Androgen Receptor Inhibit Fast Axonal Transport [PDF]
, 2003 Huntington's and Kennedy's disease are autosomal dominant neurodegenerative diseases caused by pathogenic expansion of polyglutamine tracts. Expansion of glutamine repeats must in some way confer a gain of pathological function that disrupts an essential

Regulation of retinal axon growth by secreted Vax1 homeodomain protein
eLife, 2014 Retinal ganglion cell (RGC) axons of binocular animals cross the midline at the optic chiasm (OC) to grow toward their synaptic targets in the contralateral brain. Ventral anterior homeobox 1 (Vax1) plays an essential role in the development of the OC by
