AxonDeepSeg: automatic axon and myelin segmentation from microscopy data using convolutional neural networks [PDF]
, 2017 Segmentation of axon and myelin from microscopy images of the nervous system provides useful quantitative information about the tissue microstructure, such as axon density and myelin thickness. This could be used for instance to document cell morphometry

Neural Cell Type Diversity in Cnidaria
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2022 Neurons are the fundamental building blocks of nervous systems. It appears intuitive that the human brain is made up of hundreds, if not thousands different types of neurons.

Imaging markers of disability in aquaporin-4 immunoglobulin G seropositive neuromyelitis optica: a graph theory study [PDF]
, 2019 Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders lack imaging biomarkers associated with disease course and supporting prognosis. This complex and heterogeneous set of disorders affects many regions of the central nervous system, including the spinal cord and ...

Cnidarian Nerve Nets and Neuromuscular Efficiency [PDF]
Integrative and Comparative Biology, 2015 Cnidarians are considered "nerve net animals" even though their nervous systems include various forms of condensation and centralization. Yet, their broad, two-dimensional muscle sheets are innervated by diffuse nerve nets. Do the motor nerve nets represent a primitive organization of multicellular nervous systems, do they represent a consequence of ...

Modelling selective activation of small myelinated nerve fibres using a monopolar point electrode [PDF]
, 1995 The aim of this study is to investigate theoretically the possibility for activation of small myelinated nerve fibres without activating larger ones when stimulating a nerve fibre bundle using a monopolar point electrode.

Journal of the American Medical Association, 1920 From biologic studies it must be inferred that the sole reason for life—vegetable, animal and human— is to continue the species, and that man's superior brain and body are for the purpose of better protecting the germ plasm as well as for social life, the pleasure of work and the joy of mental effort. We worship the mind and its products, and outwardly

The Temporal Profiles of Changes in Nerve Excitability Indices in Familial Amyloid Polyneuropathy. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Familial amyloid polyneuropathy (FAP) caused by a mutation in transthyretin (TTR) gene is an autosomal dominant inherited disorder. The aim of this study is to explore the pathophysiological mechanism of FAP.

Ribosomal trafficking is reduced in Schwann cells following induction of myelination. [PDF]
, 2015 Local synthesis of proteins within the Schwann cell periphery is extremely important for efficient process extension and myelination, when cells undergo dramatic changes in polarity and geometry.
