Every year, an estimated 1.7 million Americans sustain brain injury. Long-term disabilities
impact nearly half of moderate brain injury survivors and nearly 50,000 of these cases result …

The immune status of the central nervous system (CNS) is strictly regulated. In the healthy
brain, immune responses are kept to a minimum. In contrast, in a variety of inflammatory and …

Peripheral hypersensitivity (hyperalgesia and allodynia) are common phenomena both in
inflammatory and in neuropathic pain conditions. Several rat models of mononeuropathy …

There are three main mechanisms of neuronal cell death which may act separately or
cooperatively to cause neurodegeneration. This lethal triplet of metabolic compromise …

Many neurons undergo apoptosis after ischemic stroke. In the brain, neurogenesis has the
potential for neuronal replacement and can be activated by external conditions to repair the …

OBJECTIVE: To review the consequences of mechanical injury to the brain with an
emphasis on factors that may explain the variability of outcomes and how this might be …

During the development of the nervous system, a large number of neurons are eliminated
through naturally occurring neuronal death. Many morphological and biochemical properties …

The biophysical qualities of pulsed ultrasound (US) led us to appraise its effect on the
regeneration of a peripheral nerve. In this study, our intention was to evaluate the effects of …

Significance: The remarkable geometry of the axon exposes it to unique challenges for
survival and maintenance. Axonal degeneration is a feature of peripheral neuropathies …
