Timing Control of Single Neuron Spikes with Optogenetic Stimulation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
This paper predicts the ability to externally control the firing times of a cortical neuron whose behavior follows the Izhikevich neuron model. The Izhikevich neuron model provides an efficient and biologically plausible method to track a cortical neuron'

Pharmacological inhibition of HDAC6 improves muscle phenotypes in dystrophin-deficient mice by downregulating TGF-β via Smad3 acetylation

open access: yesNature Communications, 2022
Here, authors show that Smad3 acetylation via HDAC6 inhibition reverses Duchenne muscular dystrophy-like symptoms in the mdx mouse model, suggesting a potential therapeutic target for the disorder.

Why Neurons Have Thousands of Synapses, A Theory of Sequence Memory in Neocortex [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Neocortical neurons have thousands of excitatory synapses. It is a mystery how neurons integrate the input from so many synapses and what kind of large-scale network behavior this enables.

Microvascular decompression for hemifacial spasm: a review of twenty-one operated cases

open access: yesThe Egyptian Journal of Neurology, Psychiatry and Neurosurgery, 2020
Background Microvascular decompression of facial nerve provides definitive and long-term cure for hemifacial spasm. We review our experience of treating hemifacial spasm by microvascular decompression.

Neuronal polarization [PDF]

open access: yesDevelopment, 2015
Neurons are highly polarized cells with structurally and functionally distinct processes called axons and dendrites. This polarization underlies the directional flow of information in the central nervous system, so the establishment and maintenance of neuronal polarization is crucial for correct development and function.

A Stem Cell Model of the Motor Circuit Uncouples Motor Neuron Death from Hyperexcitability Induced by SMN Deficiency

open access: yesCell Reports, 2016
In spinal muscular atrophy, a neurodegenerative disease caused by ubiquitous deficiency in the survival motor neuron (SMN) protein, sensory-motor synaptic dysfunction and increased excitability precede motor neuron (MN) loss.

C9orf72-ALS human iPSC microglia are pro-inflammatory and toxic to co-cultured motor neurons via MMP9

open access: yesNature Communications, 2023
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by progressive motor neuron loss, with additional pathophysiological involvement of non-neuronal cells such as microglia.

Foetal neural progenitors contribute to postnatal circuits formation ex vivo: an electrophysiological investigation

open access: yesMolecular Brain, 2020
Neuronal progenitor cells (NPC) play an essential role in homeostasis of the central nervous system (CNS). Considering their ability to differentiate into specific lineages, their manipulation and control could have a major therapeutic impact for those ...

Neurons other than motor neurons in motor neuron disease.

open access: yesHistology and histopathology, 2017
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is typically defined by a loss of motor neurons in the central nervous system. Accordingly, morphological analysis for decades considered motor neurons (in the cortex, brainstem and spinal cord) as the neuronal population selectively involved in ALS.

Finite element modeling of the neuron-electrode interface: stimulus transfer and geometry [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
The relation between stimulus transfer and the geometry of the neuron-electrode interface can not be determined properly using electrical equivalent circuits, since current that flows from the sealing gap through the neuronal membrane is difficult to ...
