Anterograde transport blockade precedes deficits in retrograde transport in the visual projection of the DBA/2J mouse model of glaucoma

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2014
Axonal transport deficits have been reported as an early pathology in several neurodegenerative disorders, including glaucoma. However, the progression and mechanisms of these deficits are poorly understood.

Superiorization of Incremental Optimization Algorithms for Statistical Tomographic Image Reconstruction [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
We propose the superiorization of incremental algorithms for tomographic image reconstruction. The resulting methods follow a better path in its way to finding the optimal solution for the maximum likelihood problem in the sense that they are closer to the Pareto optimal curve than the non-superiorized techniques.

Acute intermittent hypoxia in neonatal rodent central nervous system facilitates respiratory frequency through the recruitment of hypothalamic areas

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Moderate and acute intermittent hypoxia (IH) facilitates respiration in adults, mostly by recruiting peripheral chemo‐/baroreceptors. As central chemoreceptors are widely expressed in immature brains, we hypothesized that IH modulates respiration at birth through a purely neurogenic mechanism involving the hypothalamus.

Hydrocephalus caused by conditional ablation of the Pten or beta-catenin gene

open access: yesCerebrospinal Fluid Research, 2008
To investigate the roles of Pten and β-Catenin in the midbrain, either the Pten gene or the β-catenin gene was conditionally ablated, using Dmbx1 (diencephalon/mesencephalon-expressed brain homeobox gene 1)-Cre mice.

A Direct Approach to Simultaneous Tests of Superiority and Noninferiority with Multiple Endpoints [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2023
Simultaneous tests of superiority and non-inferiority hypotheses on multiple endpoints are often performed in clinical trials to demonstrate that a new treatment is superior over a control on at least one endpoint and non-inferior on the remaining endpoints.

Neuronal activity modulates the expression of secretagogin, a Ca2+ sensor protein, during mammalian forebrain development

open access: yesActa Physiologica, Volume 241, Issue 5, May 2025.
Abstract Aim Because of their stable expression, some EF‐hand Ca2+‐binding proteins are broadly used as histochemical markers of neurons in the nervous system. Secretagogin is a member of “neuron‐specific” Ca2+‐sensor proteins, yet variations in its expression due, chiefly, to neuronal activity remain ambiguous.

Deficits in the activation of human oculomotor nuclei in chronic traumatic brain injury

open access: yesFrontiers in Neurology, 2015
Binocular eye movements form a finely-tuned system that requires accurate coordination of the oculomotor dynamics of the brainstem control nuclei when tracking the fine binocular disparities required for 3D vision.

Central Involvement in Pure Autonomic Failure: Insights from Neuromelanin‐Sensitive Magnetic Resonance Imaging and 18F‐Fluorodopa‐Positron Emission Tomography

open access: yesMovement Disorders, Volume 40, Issue 4, Page 716-726, April 2025.
Abstract Background Central synucleinopathies, including Parkinson's disease (PD), dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB), and multiple system atrophy (MSA), involve alpha‐synuclein accumulation and dopaminergic cell loss in the substantia nigra (SN) and locus coeruleus (LC).

Superiorization as a novel strategy for linearly constrained inverse radiotherapy treatment planning [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2022
We apply the superiorization methodology to the intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) treatment planning problem. In superiorization, linear voxel dose inequality constraints are the fundamental modeling tool within which a feasibility-seeking projection algorithm will seek a feasible point. This algorithm is then perturbed with gradient descent

Glaucoma animal models in rabbits: State of the art and perspectives—A review

open access: yesAnimal Models and Experimental Medicine, Volume 8, Issue 3, Page 429-440, March 2025.
Glaucoma, a visual thief, is characterized by elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) and loss of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs). Selecting suitable animals for preclinical models is of great significance in research on the prevention, early screening, and effective treatments of glaucoma.
