Field Strength‐Dependent White Matter R1 and R2 Anisotropy of Phase‐Cycled Balanced Steady‐State Free Precession Relaxometry

open access: yesMagnetic Resonance in Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose To investigate how the relaxation rates (R1, R2) and asymmetry indices (AI), derived from phase‐cycled balanced steady‐state free precession (pc‐bSSFP) data, depend on the orientation of white matter (WM) fiber tracts at different field strengths.

Unmyelinated nerve fibers in the human dental pulp express markers for myelinated fibers and show sodium channel accumulations

open access: yesBMC Neuroscience, 2012
Background The dental pulp is a common source of pain and is used to study peripheral inflammatory pain mechanisms. Results show most fibers are unmyelinated, yet recent findings in experimental animals suggest many pulpal afferents originate from fibers

Aberrant Molecular Myelin Architecture in Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease Type 1A and Hereditary Neuropathy With Liability to Pressure Palsies. [PDF]

open access: yesGlia
PMP22 copy number variation disrupts myelin architecture at SLIs and Nodes of Ranvier. Adherens junction and axoglial domain defects are often more severe in CMT1A than HNPP. Findings support PMP22 functioning as a structural organizer of myelin. ABSTRACT Charcot–Marie–Tooth Disease Type 1A (CMT1A) and Hereditary Neuropathy with Liability to Pressure ...

Transverse tripolar spinal cord stimulation: Theoretical performance of a dual channel system [PDF]

open access: yes, 1996
A new approach to spinal cord stimulation is presented, by which several serious problems of conventional methods can be solved. A transverse tripolar electrode with a dual-channel voltage stimulator is evaluated theoretically by means of a volume ...

Gut microbiota regulates optic nerve fiber myelination

open access: yesFrontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology
IntroductionRecent evidence supports the hypothesis of an association between gut microbiota and the pathogenesis of retinal and eye diseases, suggesting the existence of a gut-eye axis. However, no data are available on the possible effect of the gut microbiota on the optic nerve fiber maturation and myelin development.MethodsWe investigated the ...

Assessment of Sensitivity and Specificity of Common Sensory Tests in Diagnosing Digital Nerve Lacerations

open access: yesMuscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims Digital nerve lacerations are common. Current methods employed to differentiate intact and transected digital nerves lack diagnostic accuracy. This may result in patients with intact nerves undergoing unnecessary surgery. The objective of the study was to determine the best diagnostic method for detecting true sensory nerve ...

Structural reorganization of the sciatic, peroneal, and tibial nerves during osteosynthesis of lower leg fracture and after fracture consolidation (an experimental study)

open access: yesАнналы клинической и экспериментальной неврологии, 2017
The study purpose was to identify histological changes in the peripheral nerves and determine functional significance of subclinical neuropathy in experimental simulation of lower leg fractures.

Chronic thoracic hemisection spinal cord injury in adult rats induces a progressive decline in transmission from uninjured fibers to lumbar motoneurons [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Although most spinal cord injuries are anatomically incomplete, only limited functional recovery has been observed in people and rats with partial lesions.

Human CNTNAP1 Variants Associated With Severe Neurological Deficits: Additional Cases and Literature Review

open access: yesMuscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT CNTNAP1 encodes the Contactin‐Associated Protein 1 (CNTNAP1), also known as Caspr1, which is a transmembrane protein critical for nervous system function. CNTNAP1 is localized to the paranodal regions of all myelinated axons, flanking either side of the node of Ranvier.

A quantitative evaluation of gross versus histologic neuroma formation in a rabbit forelimb amputation model: potential implications for the operative treatment and study of neuromas

open access: yesJournal of Brachial Plexus and Peripheral Nerve Injury, 2011
Background Surgical treatment of neuromas involves excision of neuromas proximally to the level of grossly "normal" fascicles; however, proximal changes at the axonal level may have both functional and therapeutic implications with regard to amputated ...
