A point process framework for modeling electrical stimulation of the auditory nerve [PDF]
, 2012 Model-based studies of auditory nerve responses to electrical stimulation can provide insight into the functioning of cochlear implants. Ideally, these studies can identify limitations in sound processing strategies and lead to improved methods for ...

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 ...

Computational approaches for the reconstruction of optic nerve fibers along the visual pathway from medical images: a comprehensive review. [PDF]
Front Neurosci, 2023 Optic never fibers in the visual pathway play significant roles in vision formation. Damages of optic nerve fibers are biomarkers for the diagnosis of various ophthalmological and neurological diseases; also, there is a need to prevent the optic nerve ...

The effects of normal aging on myelinated nerve fibers in monkey central nervous system
Frontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2009 The effects of aging on myelinated nerve fibers of the central nervous system are complex. Many myelinated nerve fibers in white matter degenerate and are lost, leading to some disconnections between various parts of the central nervous system.

Nerve fibers in the tumor microenvironment in neurotropic cancer-pancreatic cancer and cholangiocarcinoma. [PDF]
Oncogene, 2021 Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) and cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) are both deadly cancers and they share many biological features besides their close anatomical location. One of the main histological features is neurotropism, which results in frequent

Transverse tripolar stimulation for selective FNS [PDF]
, 1996 Various anode-cathode configurations in a nerve cuff were modeled in order to optimize its spatial selectivity characteristics for FNS. Apart from the usual configurations (monopole, bipole, longitudinal tripole, ¿steering¿ anode), a transverse tripolar ...
