Finite-Difference Time-Domain Simulation for Three-dimensional Polarized Light Imaging [PDF]
Three-dimensional Polarized Light Imaging (3D-PLI) is a promising technique to reconstruct the nerve fiber architecture of human post-mortem brains from birefringence measurements of histological brain sections with micrometer resolution. To better understand how the reconstructed fiber orientations are related to the underlying fiber structure ...

Pathological classification of equine recurrent laryngeal neuropathy [PDF]
Recurrent Laryngeal Neuropathy (RLN) is a highly prevalent and predominantly leftâsided, degenerative disorder of the recurrent laryngeal nerves (RLn) of tall horses, that causes inspiratory stridor at exercise because of intrinsic laryngeal muscle ...

Ocular manifestations in Gorlin-Goltz syndrome [PDF]
Background: Gorlin-Goltz syndrome, also known as nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome, is a rare genetic disorder that is transmitted in an autosomal dominant manner with complete penetrance and variable expressivity.

Multiple-bud regeneration, i.e., multiple amplification, has been shown to exist in peripheral nerve regeneration. Multiple buds grow towards the distal nerve stump during proximal nerve fiber regeneration.

Effect of beta-Dystroglycan Processing on Utrophin / DP116 Anchorage in Normal and MDX Mouse Schwann Cell Membrane [PDF]
In the peripheral nervous system, utrophin and the short dystrophin isoform (Dp116) are co-localized at the outermost layer of the myelin sheath of nerve fibers; together with the dystroglycan complex. In peripheral nerve, matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) creates a 30 kDa fragment of beta-dystroglycan, leading to a disruption of the link between the ...

Paresthesia thresholds in spinal cord stimulation: a comparison of theoretical results with clinical data [PDF]
The potential distributions produced in the spinal cord and surrounding tissues by dorsal epidural stimulation at the midcervical, midthoracic, and low thoracic levels were calculated with the use of a volume conductor model.

Effect of platelet-rich and platelet-poor plasma on peri-implant innervation in dog mandibles
Background Autologous plasma fractions, such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and platelet-poor plasma (PPP), contain growth factors that can enhance neural cell survival and are therefore likely to have the ability to promote nerve regeneration.

Changes of statistical structural fluctuations unveils an early compacted degraded stage of PNS myelin [PDF]
Degradation of the myelin sheath is a common pathology underlying demyelinating neurological diseases from Multiple Sclerosis to Leukodistrophies. Although large malformations of myelin ultrastructure in the advanced stages of Wallerian degradation is known, its subtle structural variations at early stages of demyelination remains poorly characterized.
