Peripheral Nervous System

1997
As in other animals, the peripheral nervous system (PNS) in Drosophila has a complex organization. The major part of the embryonic PNS comprises the different types of sensory organs, which are located in or at the epidermis, and their axons. The axons of the sensory receptor cells course through nerves together with the axons of motoneurons which ...

Autoimmunity in the Peripheral Nervous System

Critical Reviews in Neurobiology, 2003
Autoimmune disorders of the peripheral nervous system (PNS) comprise a heterogeneous group of diseases that result from an aberrant immune response. Most of these disorders present severe morbidity and, in some cases, mortality. Even those conditions that are self-limited may display severe disability and necessitate hospitalization.

The Peripheral Nervous System

1997
The stomatogastric nervous system and the ring gland consist of several small clusters of neuroendocrine elements situated posterior to and between the two cerebral hemispheres, in association with the pharynx, oesophagus and proventriculus, dorsal pouch and aorta. Due to the small size of the various ganglia of the stomatogastric nervous system, their

Sarcoidosis of the peripheral nervous system

Neurological Research, 1993
The clinical and electrophysiologic data of four new patients with sarcoidosis involving the peripheral nerves are presented and the subject is reviewed. Two had a symmetric polyneuropathy and two had polyradiculopathy. These plus the few cases in the literature indicate that the findings on electromyography are most consistent with axonal neuropathy ...

REGENERATION IN THE PERIPHERAL NERVOUS SYSTEM

Neuropathology and Applied Neurobiology, 1989
Mammalian peripheral nerve fibres can regenerate after injury. Repair is most likely to succeed if axons are simply crushed or have only a very short (< 0–5 cm) interstump gap to cross and most likely to fail if the interstump gap is long (> l cm) and associated with soft tissue damage. Whereas reactive axonal sprouting appears to be an intrinsic

Infections of the Peripheral Nervous System

Continuum, 2021
This article describes infections that affect the peripheral nervous system, including their clinical features, differential diagnoses, and treatments.Rates of pyomyositis have increased recently in the United States, possibly because of an increase in risk factors such as IV drug use, obesity, and diabetes.

Peripheral Nervous System

2020
The peripheral nervous system is that part of the nervous system outside the brain and spinal cord. The peripheral nervous system is often described with the muscle, and indeed neuropathologists deliver diagnosis on both nerve and muscle pathology other than on pathology of the central nervous system.

Imaging of the peripheral nervous system

2013
This chapter summarizes progress in the evaluation of peripheral nerve (PN) lesions and disorders by imaging techniques encompassing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and nerve ultrasound (US). Due to the radiation exposure and limited sensitivity in soft tissue contrast, computed-tomography (CT) plays no significant role in the diagnostic work-up of PN

Embryogenesis of the peripheral nervous system

Neuroimaging Clinics of North America, 2004
Embryogenesis is a complex, wide-ranging event. Key processes may proceed simultaneously in different portions of the embryo, or sequentially, with phase offsets as waves of maturation pass outward from an initial point toward the periphery. The molecular signals used to pattern the body commonly serve multiple functions and reiterate as the body plan ...

The Peripheral Nervous System

2002
The mammalian nervous system is divisible into the central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral nervous system (PNS). The CNS, consisting of brain and spinal cord, is linked to all parts of the body by the PNS, which transmits signals to and from the CNS.
