Update on the anatomy of the brachial plexus in dogs: Body weight correlation and contralateral comparison in a cadaveric study.

PLoS ONE, 2023
A thorough knowledge of the anatomy of the brachial plexus is pivotal for diagnostic, therapeutic and anaesthetic purposes in order to correctly locate the nerve and reduce the incidence of complications when performing surgery or a local anaesthetic ...

Focal conduction block in the dorsal root ganglion in experimental allergic neuritis [PDF]

, 1992
Acute experimental allergic neuritis was induced in Lewis rats by inoculation with bovine intradural root myelin and adjuvants. In terminal experiments, sensory conduction was assessed in rats with hindlimb ataxia and weakness by stimulating the exposed ...

Neuronal Control of Swimming Behavior: Comparison of Vertebrate and Invertebrate Model Systems [PDF]

, 2011
Swimming movements in the leech and lamprey are highly analogous, and lack homology. Thus, similarities in mechanisms must arise from convergent evolution rather than from common ancestry.

Spinal hemangioblastoma arising from cervical nerve root [PDF]

Neurology, 2020
A 39-year-old woman presented with neck and shoulder pain for 3 months. The MRI scan revealed a cystic-solid lesion located at C5 (figure 1, A–E). The patient received an operation and a small blood blister–like soft mass was detected. The tumor originated from proximal cervical nerve root and compressed the spinal medulla (figure 2, A–C).

Axonal projections of Renshaw cells in the thoracic spinal cord [PDF]

, 2013
Renshaw cells are widely distributed in all segments of the spinal cord, but detailed morphological studies of these cells and their axonal branching patterns have only been made for lumbosacral segments.

Mechanical properties of nerve roots and rami radiculares isolated from fresh pig spinal cords

Neural Regeneration Research, 2015
No reports have described experiments designed to determine the strength characteristics of spinal nerve roots and rami radiculares for the purpose of explaining the complexity of symptoms of medullary cone lesions and cauda equina syndrome.

Effects of guanidine on synaptic transmission in the spinal cord of the frog [PDF]

, 1977
The effects of guanidine on motoneurons of the isolated frog spinal cord were studied by adding the drug to the solution bathing the cord during intracellular recording. Guanidine (5·10–4 M) did not alter the membrane potential of motoneurons.
