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

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 ...

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.

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.

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.

Axons Giving Rise to the Palisade Endings of Feline Extraocular Muscles Display Motor Features [PDF]
Palisade endings are nerve specializations found in the extraocular muscles (EOMs) of mammals, including primates. They have long been postulated to be proprioceptors. It was recently demonstrated that palisade endings are cholinergic and that in monkeys
