Essential tremor pathology: neurodegeneration and reorganization of neuronal connections

ED Louis, PL Faust - Nature Reviews Neurology, 2020 - nature.com
Essential tremor (ET) is the most common tremor disorder globally and is characterized by
kinetic tremor of the upper limbs, although other clinical features can also occur. Postmortem …

Inducible and constitutive transcription factors in the mammalian nervous system: control of gene expression by Jun, Fos and Krox, and CREB/ATF proteins

T Herdegen, JD Leah - Brain research reviews, 1998 - Elsevier
This article reviews findings up to the end of 1997 about the inducible transcription factors
(ITFs) c-Jun, JunB, JunD, c-Fos, FosB, Fra-1, Fra-2, Krox-20 (Egr-2) and Krox-24 (NGFI-A …

Why is Wallerian degeneration in the CNS so slow?

ME Vargas, BA Barres - Annu. Rev. Neurosci., 2007 - annualreviews.org
Wallerian degeneration (WD) is the set of molecular and cellular events by which
degenerating axons and myelin are cleared after injury. Why WD is rapid and robust in the …

[HTML][HTML] Retinal ganglion cells do not extend axons by default: promotion by neurotrophic signaling and electrical activity

JL Goldberg, JS Espinosa, Y Xu, N Davidson… - Neuron, 2002 - cell.com
We investigate the signaling mechanisms that induce retinal ganglion cell (RGC) axon
elongation by asking whether surviving neurons extend axons by default. We show that bcl …

Differential effects of the Rac GTPase on Purkinje cell axons and dendritic trunks and spines

L Luo, TK Hensch, L Ackerman, S Barbel, LY Jan… - Nature, 1996 - nature.com
NEURONS contain distinct compartments including dendrites, dendritic spines, axons and
synaptic terminals1. The molecular mechanisms that generate and distinguish these …

Bcl-2 promotes regeneration of severed axons in mammalian CNS

DF Chen, GE Schneider, JC Martinou, S Tonegawa - Nature, 1997 - nature.com
Most neurons of the mammalian central nervous system (CNS) lose the ability to regenerate
severed axons in vivo after a certain point in development1. At least part of this loss in …

The relationship between neuronal survival and regeneration

JL Goldberg, BA Barres - Annual review of neuroscience, 2000 - annualreviews.org
The ability of peripheral nervous system (PNS) but not central nervous system (CNS)
neurons to regenerate their axons is a striking peculiarity of higher vertebrates. Much …

Cell-autonomous death of cerebellar purkinje neurons with autophagy in Niemann-Pick type C disease

DC Ko, L Milenkovic, SM Beier, H Manuel… - PLoS …, 2005 - journals.plos.org
Niemann-Pick type C is a neurodegenerative lysosomal storage disorder caused by
mutations in either of two genes, npc1 and npc2. Cells lacking Npc1, which is a …

Purkinje cell axonal anatomy: quantifying morphometric changes in essential tremor versus control brains

R Babij, M Lee, E Cortes, JPG Vonsattel, PL Faust… - Brain, 2013 - academic.oup.com
Growing clinical, neuro-imaging and post-mortem data have implicated the cerebellum as
playing an important role in the pathogenesis of essential tremor. Aside from a modest …

Purkinje cell survival and axonal regeneration are age dependent: an in vitro study

I Dusart, MS Airaksinen, C Sotelo - Journal of Neuroscience, 1997 - Soc Neuroscience
Purkinje cells are among the most resistant neurons to axotomy and the most refractory to
axonal regeneration. By using organotypic cultures, we have studied age-and environment …
