Microstructural plasticity in nociceptive pathways after spinal cord injury. [PDF]
OBJECTIVE To track the interplay between (micro-) structural changes along the trajectories of nociceptive pathways and its relation to the presence and intensity of neuropathic pain (NP) after spinal cord injury (SCI).

Impaired Nuclear Export of Polyglutamine-Expanded Androgen Receptor in Spinal and Bulbar Muscular Atrophy. [PDF]
Spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy (SBMA) is a neuromuscular disease caused by polyglutamine (polyQ) expansion in the androgen receptor (AR). Prior studies have highlighted the importance of AR nuclear localization in SBMA pathogenesis; therefore, in ...

Brown-Vialetto-Van Laere syndrome [PDF]
The Brown-Vialetto-Van Laere syndrome (BVVL) is a rare neurological disorder characterized by progressive pontobulbar palsy associated with sensorineural deafness. Fifty-eight cases have been reported in just over 100 years.

Strategies to augment volitional and reflex function may improve locomotor capacity following incomplete spinal cord injury [PDF]
Many studies highlight the remarkable plasticity demonstrated by spinal circuits following an incomplete spinal cord injury (SCI). Such plasticity can contribute to improvements in volitional motor recovery, such as walking function, although similar ...

Nuclear expression of PG-21, SRC-1, and pCREB in regions of the lumbosacral spinal cord involved in pelvic innervation in young adult and aged rats [PDF]
In rats, ageing results in dysfunctional patterns of micturition and diminished sexual reflexes that may reflect degenerative changes within spinal circuitry.

Pathophysiology of Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) [PDF]
Spinal cord injury (SCI) leads to paralysis, sensory, and autonomic nervous system dysfunctions. However, the pathophysiology of SCI is complex, and not limited to the nervous system.

A Rare Case of X-Linked Bulbo-Spinal Muscular Atrophy with Sensory Neuropathy and Tremors [PDF]
Kennedy disease (KD) is also known as spino bulbar muscular atrophy caused by a tandem C-A-G tri-nucleotide repeat. It is an adult-onset X-linked recessive inherited neurodegenerative disease involving lower motor neuron damage with predominance of ...

Differentially disrupted spinal cord and muscle energy metabolism in spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy. [PDF]
Prior studies showed that polyglutamine-expanded androgen receptor (AR) is aberrantly acetylated and that deacetylation of the mutant AR by overexpression of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide-dependent (NAD+-dependent) sirtuin 1 is protective in cell ...

Myoclonus and other jerky movement disorders [PDF]
Myoclonus and other jerky movements form a large heterogeneous group of disorders. Clinical neurophysiology studies can have an important contribution to support diagnosis but also to gain insight in the pathophysiology of different kind of jerks.
