Conclusive Evidence for Human Transneuronal Retrograde Degeneration in the Visual System
Damage to axonal fibers in both central and peripheral nervous system leads to degeneration. The degeneration can be anterograde (Wallerian) in which injury to the cell body or proximal regions of the axon leads to degeneration in the axon distal to the damage. Retrograde degeneration is death of the cell body following axonal injury and can be seen throughout the Central Nervous System (CNS) i...
متن کاملTrans-synaptic Retrograde Degeneration in the Visual System of Primates.
Although the first observations of trans-synaptic degeneration in the nervous system were made in the nineteenth century, the phenomenon has been something of an infrequent curiosity. From an experimental point of view it is not a particularly attractive field for study due to the time required for the full effects to become evident and may entail many months or even years of waiting. Consequen...
متن کاملUltrastructural features of transneuronal cell degeneration in the olfactory system.
The electron microscope has been used to study transneuronal degenerative changes in the cells of the olfactory bulb of the rabbit and rat following removal of the olfactory mucosa. The principal features of this type of change are cell shrinkage, a concentration of cytoplasmic and nuclear constituents, an alteration in the organization of nucleic acid material, and a swelling of membrane-bound...
متن کاملDirect demonstration of transsynaptic degeneration in the human visual system: a comparison of retrograde and anterograde changes.
Transneuronal degeneration of retinal ganglion cells was directly demonstrated in a patient who had unilateral removal of the striate cortex forty years prior to necropsy. For comparison, another case is presented showing anterograde transneuronal atrophy forty years after enucleation of one eye.
متن کاملthe search for the self in becketts theatre: waiting for godot and endgame
this thesis is based upon the works of samuel beckett. one of the greatest writers of contemporary literature. here, i have tried to focus on one of the main themes in becketts works: the search for the real "me" or the real self, which is not only a problem to be solved for beckett man but also for each of us. i have tried to show becketts techniques in approaching this unattainable goal, base...
