Quantitative Assessment of Upper Limb Ataxia Using a Virtual Reality‐Based Evaluation System

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Cerebellar ataxia impairs coordination and balance, reducing quality of life. Conventional clinical scales, including the Scale for the Assessment and Rating of Ataxia (SARA) and the International Cooperative Ataxia Rating Scale (ICARS), are widely used to assess ataxia but are limited by subjectivity and inter‐rater variability ...

The virology of demyelinating diseases [PDF]

Annals of Neurology, 1994
Infectious agents have been postulated as causes of multiple sclerosis for over a century. The possible role of a virus or viruses is supported by data that (1) a childhood exposure is involved and "viral" infections may precipitate exacerbations of disease, (2) experimental infections in animals and natural infections in humans can cause diseases with

The V5A13.1 envelope glycoprotein deletion mutant of mouse hepatitis virus type-4 is neuroattenuated by its reduced rate of spread in the central nervous system. [PDF]

, 1992
Following intracerebral inoculation of adult Balb/c Byj mice, the MHV-4 strain of mouse hepatitis virus (MHV) had an LD50 of less than 0.1 PFU, whereas its monoclonal antibody resistant variant V5A13.1 had an LD50 of 10(4.2) PFU.

Nationwide Characterization of MFN2‐Related CMT in 176 Japanese Patients: Clinical and Genetic Insights

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Mitofusin 2 (MFN2) is a major causative gene for axonal Charcot – Marie – Tooth disease type 2A (CMT2A), with a wide phenotypic spectrum. Comprehensive large ‐ scale genotype – phenotype association studies are essential for understanding disease pathogenesis and improved clinical management.

Genes, brain dynamics and art: the genetic underpinnings of creativity in dancing, musicality and visual arts

Journal of Integrative Neuroscience, 2021
Creativity, art and artistic creation in music, dance and visual arts are brain activities specific to humans. Their genetic background remained unexplored for years, but many recent studies have uncovered significant associations with cognition ...

Glial grafting for demyelinating disease [PDF]

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2005
Remyelination of demyelinated central nervous system (CNS) axons is considered as a potential treatment for multiple sclerosis, and it has been achieved in experimental models of demyelination by transplantation of pro-myelinating cells. However, the experiments undertaken have not addressed the need for tissue-type matching in order to achieve graft ...

The Relationship Between Inflammation and Central Nervous System in Multiple Sclerosis

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim Multiple sclerosis is an autoimmune demyelination disease that is seen especially in the young population and has a progressive course, causing motor, sensory, and cognitive deficits. In the literature, the pathogenesis of MS disease and the interconnection between the immune and central nervous system in the disease have not been fully ...

Parkinsonism and neurosarcoidosis: Cause and effect or coincidence?

Clinical Parkinsonism & Related Disorders, 2019
Movement disorders in demyelinating diseases can be coincidental or secondary to a demyelinating lesion. We here report the first case of coincidental association of neurosarcoidosis and idiopathic Parkinson's disease.
