DOI: 10.1002/cne.24334
Abstract: The neuronal population of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) has the ability to prolong incoming cortical excitation. This could result from intra‐STN feedback excitation. The combination of inducible genetic fate mapping techniques with in vitro targeted… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.bpj.2016.11.759
Abstract: An estimated 55M individuals experience spinal cord injuries (SCIs), 230K in the United States. When a nerve is injured, the environment prevents healing of neurons and myelin. This is due to the presence of myelin… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.devcel.2020.05.020
Abstract: Compartmentalized signaling is critical for cellular organization and specificity of functional outcomes in neurons. Here, we report that post-translational lipidation of newly synthesized proteins in axonal compartments allows for short-term and autonomous responses to extrinsic… read more here.

DOI: 10.1021/acschemneuro.4c00859
Abstract: Here, the model of dissipative waveguide presents an axon where oscillations of ions generate electromagnetic waves that extend at the speed of light in a given medium. A transmission of spikes (wave packets) along axons… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-020-58917-4
Abstract: We developed a time-efficient semi-automated axon quantification method using freeware in human cranial nerve sections stained with paraphenylenediamine (PPD). It was used to analyze a total of 1238 facial and masseteric nerve biopsies. The technique… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s42003-020-1034-x
Abstract: In non-mammalian vertebrates, some neurons can regenerate after spinal cord injury. One of these, the giant Mauthner (M-) neuron shows a uniquely direct link to a robust survival-critical escape behavior but appears to regenerate poorly.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/hmg/ddy356
Abstract: Abstract Nicotinamide mononucleotide adenylyltransferase 2 (NMNAT2) is an endogenous axon maintenance factor that preserves axon health by blocking Wallerian‐like axon degeneration. Mice lacking NMNAT2 die at birth with severe axon defects in both the peripheral… read more here.

CLARITY reveals a more protracted temporal course of axon swelling and disconnection than previously described following traumatic brain injury

DOI: 10.1111/bpa.12677
Abstract: Diffuse axonal injury (DAI) is an important consequence of traumatic brain injury (TBI). At the moment of trauma, axons rarely disconnect, but undergo cytoskeletal disruption and transport interruption leading to protein accumulation within swellings. The… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/jcmm.15648
Abstract: Traumatic nerve injuries have become a common clinical problem, and axon regeneration is a critical process in the successful functional recovery of the injured nervous system. In this study, we found that peripheral axotomy reduces… read more here.

DOI: 10.1242/jcs.258785
Abstract: In neurons, endoplasmic reticulum forms a highly dynamic network that enters axons and presynaptic terminals and plays a central role in Ca2+ homeostasis and synapse maintenance. However, the underlying mechanisms involved in regulation of its… read more here.

Abstract: Through forward genetic screening for mutations affecting visual system development, we identified prominent coloboma and cell-autonomous retinal neuron differentiation, lamination and retinal axon projection defects in eisspalte (ele) mutant zebrafish. Additional axonal deficits were present,… read more here.
