We propose an objective measure, called GAN Quality Index (GQI), to evaluate GANs. The idea is to train a GAN-induced classifier from the GAN generated data and use its accuracy on a real test set as a metric to measure how well the GAN model distribution matches the real data distribution. Unlike most existing quantitative measurements of GANs, which only reflect partial characteristics of gen...

Neurons are specialized cells with a complex architecture that includes elaborate dendritic branches and a long, narrow axon that extends from the cell body to the synaptic terminal. The organized transport of essential biological materials throughout the neuron is required to support its growth, function, and viability. In this review, we focus on insights that have emerged from the genetic an...

In this issue, Sorbara et al. (2014) demonstrate that axonal transport impairment is an early feature of neurodegeneration in multiple sclerosis models. This transport deficit is reversible by anti-inflammatory intervention but, if untreated, can contribute to late-stage axonal dystrophy.

The neurotoxicity of the gamma-diketone 3,4-dimethyl-2,5-hexanedione(DMHD) was studied to determine the distribution of the neuropathologic changes and the temporal sequence during the intoxication period and following five and 15 weeks of recovery. Intoxication with 3,4-dimethyl-2,5-hexanedione at a daily dose of 0.25 mmoles/kg led to a profound clinical neuropathy, resulting in paralysis of a...

A further child with giant axonal neuropathy (GAN), abnormally curly hair and consanguineous parents is described. Of the 19 patients with GAN so far reported in the literature, six, including the present patient, have resulted from consanguineous marriages. This makes autosomal recessive inheritance of GAN highly probable. Our patient also exhibited cerebellar ataxia and signs of pyramidal tra...
