Dietary supplementation with omega-3 (ω-3) fatty acids is a safe, economical mean of preventive medicine that has shown protection against several neurologic disorders. The present study tested the hypothesis that this method is protective against controlled cortical impact (CCI). Indeed, mice fed with ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA)-enriched diet for 2 months exhibited attenuated short a...

Abstract A central goal in neuroscience is the development of a comprehensive mapping between structural and functional brain features which facilitates mechanistic interpretation function. However, interpretability structure-function models remains limited by lack biological detail. Here, we characterize human networks weighted multiple white matter microstructural including total intra-axonal...

Myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody associated disease (MOGAD) is an inflammatory demyelinating disorder caused by the development of immunoglobulin G autoantibody targeting MOG, which expressed exclusively on outer surface myelin sheath and plasma membrane oligodendrocyte. MOGAD can present in different clinical spectrum including acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM), optic neu...

introduction: multiple sclerosis (ms) is generally known as a manageable but not yet curable autoimmune disease affecting central nervous system. a potential therapeutic approach should possess several properties: prevent immune system from damaging the brain and spinal cord, promote differentiation of oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (opcs) into mature oligodendrocytes to produce myelin, preve...

PURPOSE Optic neuritis (ON) is a condition involving primary inflammation, demyelination, and axonal injury in the optic nerve and leads to apoptotic retinal ganglion cell (RGC) death, which contributes to the persistence of visual loss. Currently, ON has no effective treatment. The goal was to determine the effectiveness of immunotherapy with recombinant T-cell receptor ligand (RTL) in prevent...

basic research on the autoimmune disease multiple sclerosis has been performed mainly on its animal model namely experimental allergic encephalomyelitis. there are many different approaches established to get this model. despite the existence of many references in literature in this regard, we have been faced with many difficulties generating the model suitable for studying different therapies....

objective(s) erythropoietin has been shown to exert neuroprotective effects in a variety of cns injury models. elevation of serum s100β, as a glial damage marker and myelin basic protein (mbp) has been reported to occur in acute carbon monoxide (co) poisoning. the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of erythropoietin (epo) on serum s100β and mbp levels after co poisoning in rats. mater...
