Rapid testing leads to the underestimation of the scrapie prevalence in an affected sheep and goat flock [PDF]

, 2007
To obtain a more detailed understanding of the prevalence of classical scrapie infections in a heavily affected German sheep flock (composed of 603 sheep and 6 goats), we analysed 169 sheep and 6 goats that carried the genotypes susceptible to the ...

Klotho pathways, myelination disorders, neurodegenerative diseases, and epigenetic drugs [PDF]

, 2020
In this review we outline a rationale for identifying neuroprotectants aimed at inducing endogenous Klotho activity and expression, which is epigenetic action, by definition. Such an approach should promote remyelination and/or stimulate myelin repair by

CNS Mitochondria‐Derived Vesicle in Blood: Potential Biomarkers for Brain Mitochondria Dysfunction

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Mitochondrial dysfunction is a hallmark of neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's (AD) and Parkinson's (PD). Our goal was to develop practical, noninvasive methods to assess mitochondrial status through the detection of mitochondria‐derived vesicles (MDVs).

Evidence of Oligoclonal Bands Does Not Exclude Non-Inflammatory Neurological Diseases

Diagnostics, 2020
Cerebrospinal fluid analysis is an essential part of the diagnostic workup in various neurological disorders. Evidence of an intrathecal immunoglobulin synthesis, as demonstrated by Reiber’s diagram or the more sensitive oligoclonal bands (OCB), are ...

Nerve Biopsy in Peripheral Neuropathies: Not All Water Is under the Bridge

Brain Sciences, 2021
Sural nerve biopsy has long been a valuable diagnostic tool for the study of peripheral neuropathies, although the recent introduction of non-invasive techniques (e.g., neuroimaging techniques, skin biopsy) and advanced genetic and immunological testing ...

Bimanual proprioception: are two hands better than one? [PDF]

J Neurophysiol. 2014 Mar;111(6):1362-8, 2013
Information about the position of an object that is held in both hands, such as a golf club or a tennis racquet, is transmitted to the human central nervous system from peripheral sensors in both left and right arms. How does the brain combine these two sources of information?

Purinergic signalling: past, present and future [PDF]

, 2009
The discovery of non-adrenergic, non-cholinergic neurotransmission in the gut and bladder in the early 1960's is described as well as the identification of adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP) as a transmitter in these nerves in the early 1970's.

Serotonergic and Dopaminergic Function in Neuropsychiatrically Asymptomatic People With HIV on Antiretroviral Therapy

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective People with HIV (PWH) on antiretroviral therapy (ART) still experience neurocognitive dysfunction and accelerated brain volume loss. To assess whether the serotonergic and dopaminergic systems are affected, we used [11C]DASB positron emission tomography (PET) to assess presynaptic serotonergic function and [18F]FDOPA PET to measure ...
