The physiology, anatomy and stimulation of the vagus nerve in epilepsy
Abstract figure legend The vagus nerve is both the longest cranial nerve and the largest, providing parasympathetic control of multiple organ systems within the thorax and abdomen, including the cardiovascular, respiratory and gastrointestinal systems (Ottaviani & Macefield, 2022).

Inhibition of ErbB2 mitigates secondary denervation after traumatic muscle injury
Abstract figure legend Our study evaluated the therapeutic potential of ErbB2 inhibition (Herceptin) after volumetric muscle loss (VML) injury, primarily evaluating improvements at the neuromuscular junctions (NMJ). A full thickness model of VML injury to the tibialis anterior muscle of adult Lewis rats was used, and treatments included Herceptin, a ...

Cholinergic and Glutamatergic Axons Differentially Require Glial Support in the Drosophila PNS
Main Points In the Drosophila PNS, motor‐ and sensory axons differentially interact with wrapping glia processes. Sensory axons are more weakly associated with wrapping glia and show a length dependent degeneration upon loss of wrapping glia. ABSTRACT In vertebrates, there is a differential interaction between peripheral axons and their associated ...

Main Points Ablation of autophagy in oligodendrocytes reveals increased PLP expression, myelin abnormalities, axon degeneration and increased microglia activation in aged mice. The aged mice exhibit marked deficits in learning and memory tasks. ABSTRACT The aging central nervous system (CNS) is often marked by myelin degeneration, yet the underlying ...

Abstract Purpose To confirm ihMT's specificity to myelin, an ihMT presaturation module was combined with a Poon–Henkelman multi‐echo spin‐echo readout to separate the ihMT signal in myelin water from intra‐/extra‐cellular water. This study explored the relationship between two quantitative myelin imaging techniques and measured the ihMT signal of ...

This study used NODDI to identify white matter microstructure alterations in older adults with dyslipidemia, revealing significantly reduced neurite density in several brain regions. These reductions were linked to declines in cognitive and motor functions, suggesting that NODDI may serve as a biomarker for dyslipidemia‐related axonal degeneration ...

1. DHA and NA can enhance memory by increasing their levels in gray and white matter. 2. DHA and NA can enhance memory by increasing their levels in gray and white matter. 3. DHA and NA combination regulate spatial memory in a dose‐specific manner. ABSTRACT Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and nervonic acid (NA) are the main components of brain gray and ...
