Gallyas Silver Impregnation of Myelinated Nerve Fibers. [PDF]
Bio Protoc, 2019 In the nervous system of vertebrates, nerve impulse propagation is accelerated by the ensheathment of neuronal axons with myelin. Myelin sheaths are molecularly specialized, lipid-rich plasma membrane extensions of Schwann cells in the peripheral nervous system and oligodendrocytes in the central nervous system (CNS).

Permeability of the paranodal junction of myelinated nerve fibers. [PDF]
J Neurosci, 2010 We have used fluorescent dextran tracers to test the tightness of the paranodal junction of living or fixed myelinated fibers in mouse sciatic nerve. Both 3 and 70 kDa tracers are able to penetrate from the perinodal space symmetrically into the paranodes on either side of the node of Ranvier at a rate consistent with diffusion through an elongated ...

Structural and molecular characteristics of axons in the long head of the biceps tendon [PDF]
, 2020 The innervation of the long head of the biceps tendon (LHBT) is not sufficiently documented. This is a drawback since pathologies of the LHBT are a major source of shoulder pain.

A simulation model of the electrical characteristics of human myelinated sensory nerve fibers [PDF]
, 1997 A new nerve fiber model has been developed, incorporating electrical characteristics of human myelinated sensory nerve fibers. It will be used to determine the response of myelinated somatosensory nerve fibers in the spinal cord to electrical stimulation

Myelinated retinal nerve fibers
Pan African Medical Journal, 2014 A 7-year-old girl of second degree consanguineous parents, presented with an 8 months history of intermittent exotropia of the left eye. Cycloplegic refraction was -0.25.-0.50,165 and -3.00.-0.50,20, in the right and left eyes respectively. An initial objective assessment of the visual function showed a best corrected visual acuity of 12/10 in the ...

Electrical neurostimulation for chronic pain: on selective relay of sensory neural activities in myelinated nerve fibers [PDF]
, 2015 Chronic pain affects about 100 million adults in the US. Despite their great need, neuropharmacology and neurostimulation therapies for chronic pain have been associated with suboptimal efficacy and limited long-term success, as their mechanisms of ...

Clues from Crouzon: Insights into the potential role of growth factors in the pathogenesis of myelinated retinal nerve fibers. [PDF]
, 2016 PurposeWe present a case of bilateral extensive peripapillary myelinated retinal nerve fibers (MRNF) in an individual with Crouzon syndrome, an inherited form of craniosynostosis caused by overactivation of fibroblast growth factor receptor 2.

Diffusion of Ions in Myelinated Nerve Fibers
Biophysical Journal, 1979 The diffusion of ions towards or away from the inner side of the nodal membrane in preparations, the cut ends of which are placed in various media, was investigated. The ion concentration changes were calculated by numerical solution of the unidimensional electrodiffusion equation under a variety of media compositions, axoplasmic diffusion coefficients,
