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]
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.

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
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]
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.

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
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.

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]
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
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.
