Enhanced c-Fos expression in the central amygdala correlates with increased thigmotaxis in rats with peripheral nerve injury [PDF]
Pain is associated with affective, cognitive and sensory dysfunction. Animal models can be used to observe ethologically relevant behaviours such as thigmotaxis, giving insight into how ongoing sensory abnormalities influence natural rodent behaviours ...

Schwann cell mitochondrial metabolism supports long-term axonal survival and peripheral nerve function [PDF]
Mitochondrial dysfunction is a common cause of peripheral neuropathies. While the role of neuron and axonal mitochondria in peripheral nerve disease is well appreciated, whether Schwann cell (SC) mitochondrial deficits contribute to peripheral ...

Histopathological and behavioral evaluations of the effects of crocin, safranal and insulin on diabetic peripheral neuropathy in rats [PDF]
Objectives: Crocin and safranal, the major constituents of saffron, exert neuroprotective effects. In the present study, we investigated the effects of crocin and safranal (alone or in combination with insulin) on peripheral neuropathy in diabetic rats.

The role of thrombin in the pathogenesis of diabetic neuropathy.
Diabetic neuropathy is common and disabling despite glycemic control. Novel neuroprotective approaches are needed. Thrombin and hypercoagulability are associated with diabetes and nerve conduction dysfunction. Our aim was to study the role of thrombin in

Cryoglobulinaemic neuropathy: a further cause of bilateral sciatic neuropathy
Bilateral sciatic neuropathy is a rare condition and it has been described as a compression or entrapment neuropathy but it is an uncommon clinical manifestation due to necrotizing vasculitis. We report an unusual case of cryoglobulinaemic neuropathy in an elderly woman with no underlying infectious or neoplastic cause; acute bilateral sciatic ...
