ABSTRACT Herein, we report two autopsy cases of familial ALS with a p. L127S (L126S) SOD1 variant. Case 1 involved a 62‐year‐old woman who presented with lower‐extremity muscle weakness with lower motor neuron signs. The patient developed bulbar palsy and died of respiratory failure 9 years after onset.

A retrograde double-labeling technique for light microscopy A combination of axonal transport of cholera toxin B-subunit and a gold-lectin conjugate [PDF]
A light microscopical, non-fluorescent, retrograde double-labeling technique is described. Cholera toxin B-subunit (CTb) and a conjugate of wheatgerm agglutinin and bovine serum albumin coupled to 10 nm gold particles (gold-lectin) are both excellent ...

Atypical Frontotemporal Dementia Associated With SQSTM1 Gene Mutation: A Clinicopathological Case
ABSTRACT A 78‐year‐old man presented with a six‐year history of progressive memory decline, initially manifesting as recent memory impairment and mild anomia, which gradually evolved into motor clumsiness, gait disturbances, language difficulties, behavioral changes, and late‐onset parkinsonism. He had been diagnosed with Paget disease of bone (PDB) at

Cross-Correlation in the Auditory Coincidence Detectors of Owls [PDF]
Interaural time difference (ITD) plays a central role in many auditory functions, most importantly in sound localization. The classic model for how ITD is computed was put forth by Jeffress (1948). One of the predictions of the Jeffress model is that the

A receptor-based analysis of local ecosystems in the human brain. [PDF]
BackgroundAs a complex system, the brain is a self-organizing entity that depends on local interactions among cells. Its regions (anatomically defined nuclei and areas) can be conceptualized as cellular ecosystems, but the similarity of their functional ...

Zonal organization of the climbing fiber projection to the flocculus and nodulus of the rabbit: A combined axonal tracing and acetylcholinesterase histochemical study [PDF]
The localization and termination of olivocerebellar fibers in the flocculus and nodulus of the rabbit were studied with anterograde axonal transport methods [wheatgerm agglutinin-horseradish peroxidase (WGA-HRP) and tritiated leucine] and correlated with

Caveats in transneuronal tracing with unmodified rabies virus: An evaluation of aberrant results using a nearly perfect tracing technique [PDF]
Apart from the genetically engineered, modified, strains of rabies virus (RABV), unmodified ‘fixed’ virus strains of RABV, such as the ‘French’ subtype of CVS11, are used to examine synaptically connected networks in the brain.

Connections of the Superior Paraolivary Nucleus of the Rat: II. Reciprocal Connections with the Tectal Longitudinal Column [PDF]
The superior paraolivary nucleus (SPON), a prominent GABAergic center of the mammalian auditory brainstem, projects to the ipsilateral inferior colliculus (IC) and sends axons through the commissure of the IC (CoIC).
