Site-dependent differences in the composite fibers of male pelvic plexus branches: an immunohistochemical analysis of donated elderly cadavers

BMC Urology, 2018
Background Although the pelvic autonomic plexus branches are considered to be a mixture of sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves, little is known regarding the composite fibers of the pelvic plexus branches.

Position-selective activation of peripheral nerve fibers with a cuff electrode [PDF]

, 1996
The degree of spatial selectivity which can be obtained with longitudinal dot tripoles in an insulating cuff was quantified in terms of the overlap between fiber populations activated by different tripoles.

The ansa cervicalis and superior cervical ganglion contribute to the fiber composition of the human hypoglossal nerve and its branches

Scientific Reports
The hypoglossal nerve is considered a pure motor nerve. Yet, there are indications that it contains sensory and sympathetic fibers in the periphery. We analyzed changes in the fiber composition along the human hypoglossal nerve, delineating the pathways ...

Plasticity of Unmyelinated Fibers in a Side-to-end Tubulization Model

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Global Open, 2019
Background:. Histomorphometric studies of unmyelinated fibers of the rat fibular nerves are uncommon, and side-to-end neurorrhaphy studies using the fibular nerve investigate primarily motor fibers.

A point process framework for modeling electrical stimulation of the auditory nerve

, 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 ...

Peroxisomal dysfunctions cause lysosomal storage and axonal Kv1 channel redistribution in peripheral neuropathy [PDF]

, 2017
Impairment of peripheral nerve function is frequent in neurometabolic diseases, but mechanistically not well understood. Here, we report a novel disease mechanism and the finding that glial lipid metabolism is critical for axon function, independent of ...

Linking neurogenesis, oligodendrogenesis, and myelination defects to neurodevelopmental disruption in primary mitochondrial disorders

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Mitochondrial remodeling shapes neural and glial lineage progression by matching metabolic supply with demand. Elevated OXPHOS supports differentiation and myelin formation, while myelin compaction lowers mitochondrial dependence, revealing mitochondria as key drivers of developmental energy adaptation.

Preparation of Teased Nerve Fibers from Rat Sciatic Nerve

Bio-Protocol, 2017
Compared to tissue sectioning techniques, the technique of teasing single nerve fibers provides a better way to understand the structures of myelin sheaths and axons of the peripheral myelinated nerves. This protocol describes a method for preparation of

The mechanosensitive ion channel TRAAK is localized to the mammalian node of Ranvier. [PDF]

, 2019
TRAAK is a membrane tension-activated K+ channel that has been associated through behavioral studies to mechanical nociception. We used specific monoclonal antibodies in mice to show that TRAAK is localized exclusively to nodes of Ranvier, the action ...

Immune activation enhances epithelial nerve growth in provoked vestibulodynia [PDF]

, 2016
BACKGROUND: Provoked vestibulodynia manifests as allodynia of the vulvar vestibular mucosa. The exact mechanisms that result in altered pain sensation are unknown.
