Brain and Behavior, Volume 12, Issue 12, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Background Patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) present various responsiveness to levodopa, but the cause of such differences in levodopa responsiveness is unclear. Previous studies related the damage of brain white matter (WM) to levodopa responsiveness in PD patients, but no study investigated the relationship between the structural brain ...

gACSON software for automated segmentation and morphology analyses of myelinated axons in 3D electron microscopy [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Background and Objective: Advances in electron microscopy (EM) now allow three-dimensional (3D) imaging of hundreds of micrometers of tissue with nanometer-scale resolution, providing new opportunities to study the ultrastructure of the brain. In this work, we introduce a freely available Matlab-based gACSON software for visualization, segmentation ...

Mechanical waves in myelinated axon wall [PDF]
, 2021 The propagation of an action potential is accompanied by mechanical and thermal effects. Several mathematical models explain the deformation of the unmyelinated axon wall. In this paper, the deformation of the myelinated axon wall is studied. The mathematical model is inspired by the mechanics of microstructured materials.

Exogenous lipids in myelination and myelination.
The Kaohsiung journal of medical sciences, 1997 Myelinogenesis is a scheduled process that depends on both the intrinsic properties of the cell and extracellular signals. In rat brain, myelin development is an essentially postnatal event and environmental interferences could affect myelin synthesis. Nutrition plays an important role, since severe postnatal malnutrition and essential fatty acid (EFA)

Structure and evolution of neuronal wiring receptors and ligands
Developmental Dynamics, Volume 252, Issue 1, Page 27-60, January 2023., 2023 Abstract One of the fundamental properties of a neuronal circuit is the map of its connections. The cellular and developmental processes that allow for the growth of axons and dendrites, selection of synaptic targets, and formation of functional synapses use neuronal surface receptors and their interactions with other surface receptors, secreted ...

On the stability and growth of single myelin figures [PDF]
Phys. Rev. Lett. 96, 138301 (2006), 2005 Myelin figures are long thin cylindrical structures that typically grow as a dense tangle when water is added to the concentrated lamellar phase of certain surfactants. We show that, starting from a well-ordered initial state, single myelin figures can be produced in isolation thus allowing a detailed study of their growth and stability.

Axin2 as regulatory and therapeutic target in newborn brain injury and remyelination. [PDF]
, 2011 Permanent damage to white matter tracts, comprising axons and myelinating oligodendrocytes, is an important component of brain injuries of the newborn that cause cerebral palsy and cognitive disabilities, as well as multiple sclerosis in adults. However,
