Neuro-allergology: Mast cell–nerve cross-talk
Mast cells (MCs) are derived from hematopoietic stem cells in the bone marrow, and their maturation is regulated by the tissue environment, such as the skin, lung and gut, leading to host defense.

Selectivity in regeneration of the oculomotor nerve in the cichlid fish, Astronotus ocellatus [PDF]
It has long been considered a general rule for nerve regeneration that the reinnervation of skeletal muscle is nonselective. Regenerating nerve fibers are supposed to reconnect with one skeletal muscle as readily as another according to studies covering ...

Enhancement of K+ conductance improves in vitro the contraction force of skeletal muscle in hypokalemic periodic paralysis [PDF]
An abnormal ratio between Na+ and K+ conductances seems to be the cause for the depolarization and paralysis of skeletal muscle in primary hypokalemic periodic paralysis.

Lessons Learned: Quality Analysis of Optical Coherence Tomography in Neuromyelitis Optica
ABSTRACT Introduction Optical coherence tomography (OCT)‐derived retina measurements are markers for neuroaxonal visual pathway status. High‐quality OCT scans are essential for reliable measurements, but their acquisition is particularly challenging in eyes with severe visual impairment, as often observed in neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders ...

Immunohistopathology of Cochleovestibular Schwannoma in Human Temporal Bone Specimens
The aim of this study was to investigate the pathology of hearing loss caused by cochleo-vestibular schwannoma. Surgical specimens have demonstrated that a tumor may displace normal nerve fibers of the cochlear nerve to one side (pushing pattern) or the ...

Artificial Intelligence Analysis of Nerve Fibers Based on Corneal Confocal Microscopy
Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is one of the most common chronic complications of diabetes. Traditional DPN diagnostic methods are based on clinical symptoms and signs as well as electrophysiological examination, which are mainly used to detect the

A frequency-selective feedback model of auditory efferent suppression and its implications for the recognition of speech in noise [PDF]
The potential contribution of the peripheral auditory efferent system to our understanding of speech in a background of competing noise was studied using a computer model of the auditory periphery and assessed using an automatic speech recognition system.

Autosomal Recessive Spastic Ataxia of Charlevoix‐Saguenay in Two Half‐Siblings
ABSTRACT Autosomal recessive spastic ataxia of Charlevoix‐Saguenay (ARSACS) is caused by biallelic pathogenic variants in the SACS gene. We report the clinical, radiologic and neurophysiologic features of a pair of half‐siblings who presented with progressive cerebellar ataxia, peripheral neuropathy and upper motor neuron signs.
