Recurrent isolated oculomotor nerve palsy caused by schwannoma in a pediatric patient
Isolated schwannomas of motor nerves to extraocular muscles are uncommon. In addition, most previous studies on oculomotor nerve schwannoma discuss adult patients, and pediatric cases are rare.

Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) Prevents the Downregulation of the Cholinergic Phenotype in Axotomized Motoneurons of the Adult Rat [PDF]
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) was initially characterized by its activity on the vascular system. However, there is growing evidence indicating that VEGF also acts as a neuroprotective factor, and that its administration to neurons suffering ...

MRI findings of contralateral oculomotor nerve palsy in Parry-Romberg syndrome
Purpose: To study a case of right Parry Romberg syndrome associated with contralateral oculomotor nerve palsy using high-resolution cerebral and orbital magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Observations: There were no brain MRI abnormalities. However, there

Optogenetic perturbations reveal the dynamics of an oculomotor integrator [PDF]
Many neural systems can store short-term information in persistently firing neurons. Such persistent activity is believed to be maintained by recurrent feedback among neurons.

Traumatic oculomotor nerve palsy: Unique case of isolated mydriasis and ptosis following head injury
A rare case of partial cranial nerve 3 (CN3) paresis following a traumatic brain injury presented with isolated ptosis and mydriasis due to a hemorrhagic lesion in the ipsilateral tegmentum of midbrain.

Population-scale organization of cerebellar granule neuron signaling during a visuomotor behavior. [PDF]
Granule cells at the input layer of the cerebellum comprise over half the neurons in the human brain and are thought to be critical for learning. However, little is known about granule neuron signaling at the population scale during behavior.

A Cholinergic Synaptically Triggered Event Participates in the Generation of Persistent Activity Necessary for Eye Fixation [PDF]
An exciting topic regarding integrative properties of the nervous system is how transient motor commands or brief sensory stimuli are able to evoke persistent neuronal changes, mainly as a sustained, tonic action potential firing.

Recurrent cerebellar architecture solves the motor-error problem [PDF]
Current views of cerebellar function have been heavily influenced by the models of Marr and Albus, who suggested that the climbing fibre input to the cerebellum acts as a teaching signal for motor learning.
