Septin/anillin filaments scaffold central nervous system myelin to accelerate nerve conduction

eLife, 2016
Myelination of axons facilitates rapid impulse propagation in the nervous system. The axon/myelin-unit becomes impaired in myelin-related disorders and upon normal aging.

Neurotoxicity [PDF]

, 2014
Neurotoxicity refers to the direct or indirect effect of chemicals that disrupt the nervous system of humans or animals. Numerous chemicals can produce neurotoxic diseases in humans, and many more are used as experimental tools to disturb or damage the ...

Nationwide Survey of Atopic Myelitis and Plexin D1‐Immunoglobulin G‐Related Pain

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To elucidate the features of plexin D1‐immunoglobulin (Ig)G‐associated neuropathic pain and its relationship to atopic myelitis (AM) in a nationwide Japanese survey. Methods A preliminary survey questionnaire was sent to 1574 selected departments (neurology and pediatrics/pediatric neurology) to explore the numbers of AM and plexin ...

How Does Protein Zero Assemble Compact Myelin?

Cells, 2020
Myelin protein zero (P0), a type I transmembrane protein, is the most abundant protein in peripheral nervous system (PNS) myelin—the lipid-rich, periodic structure of membrane pairs that concentrically encloses long axonal segments.

Lessons Learned: Quality Analysis of Optical Coherence Tomography in Neuromyelitis Optica

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Optical coherence tomography (OCT)‐derived retina measurements are markers for neuroaxonal visual pathway status. High‐quality OCT scans are essential for reliable measurements, but their acquisition is particularly challenging in eyes with severe visual impairment, as often observed in neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders ...

Thinning of originally-existing, mature myelin represents a nondestructive form of myelin loss in the adult CNS

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience
The main function of oligodendrocytes is to assemble and maintain myelin that wraps and insulates axons in the central nervous system (CNS). Traditionally, myelin structure, particularly its thickness, was believed to remain remarkably stable in ...

Effect of Scatterering on Coherent Anti-Stokes Raman Scattering (CARS) signals [PDF]

, 2017
We develop a computational framework to examine the factors responsible for scattering-induced distortions of coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) signals in turbid samples. We apply the Huygens-Fresnel Wave-based Electric Field Superposition (HF-

Autosomal Recessive Spastic Ataxia of Charlevoix‐Saguenay in Two Half‐Siblings

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Autosomal recessive spastic ataxia of Charlevoix‐Saguenay (ARSACS) is caused by biallelic pathogenic variants in the SACS gene. We report the clinical, radiologic and neurophysiologic features of a pair of half‐siblings who presented with progressive cerebellar ataxia, peripheral neuropathy and upper motor neuron signs.

Prefrontal gamma oscillations and fear extinction learning require early postnatal interneuron-oligodendroglia communication

Nature Communications
Emerging evidence links oligodendrocyte (OL) lineage cells and myelin to cognitive processes, yet the role of myelination in shaping neuronal networks critical for cognitive tasks remains unknown.

Distinctive Structural and Molecular Features of Myelinated Inhibitory Axons in Human Neocortex. [PDF]

, 2018
Numerous types of inhibitory neurons sculpt the performance of human neocortical circuits, with each type exhibiting a constellation of subcellular phenotypic features in support of its specialized functions.
