Experimental Neurology, 2016 Andreas Vesalius is attributed the discovery of white matter in the 16th century but van Leeuwenhoek is arguably the first to have observed myelinated fibers in 1717. A globular myelin theory followed, claiming all elements of the nervous system except for Fontana's primitive cylinder with outer sheath in 1781. Remak's axon revolution in 1836 relegated

Relapsing–Remitting Multiple Sclerosis Is Associated With a Dysbiotic Oral Microbiome
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune disorder characterized by inflammation, demyelination, and neurological impairment. While the gut microbiota's role in MS is extensively studied, the association between the oral microbiota and MS remains underexplored, particularly in North American cohorts.

Glial βii spectrin contributes to paranode formation and maintenance [PDF]
, 2018 Action potential conduction along myelinated axons depends on high densities of voltage-gated Na channels at the nodes of Ranvier. Flanking each node, paranodal junctions (paranodes) are formed between axons and Schwann cells in the peripheral nervous ...

Accelerated Progression of Gait Impairment in Parkinson's Disease and REM Sleep Without Atonia
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective People with Parkinson's disease (PD) and rapid eye movement (REM) sleep without atonia (RSWA) often have more severe gait disturbances compared to PD without RSWA. The association between the presence and expression of RSWA and the rate of progression of gait impairment in PD is unknown.

Myelin Plasticity and Nervous System Function.
Annual Review of Neuroscience, 2018 Structural plasticity in the myelinated infrastructure of the nervous system has come to light. Although an innate program of myelin development proceeds independent of nervous system activity, a second mode of myelination exists in which activity ...

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.

Myelin sheath structure and regeneration in peripheral nerve injury repair
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2019 Significance Afferent and efferent nerve fibers cannot be distinguished based on the axonal diameter or the presence of the Remark bundle. The compaction of the myelin sheath involves 2 steps: 1) The distance between the 2 layers of cell membranes in the
