to study the role of tau protein and its role in axonal transport and interaction with amyloid-beta protein. They found that amyloid-beta requires participation of tau to impair axonal transport and that reduction of tau protected against amyloid-beta induced axonal transport defects in this in vitro model. The author discusses possible tau reduction

to measure the axon diameter distribution (ADD) of nerve bundles (fascicles) in the central and peripheral nervous systems.
The invention essentially consists of a non-obvious... be extended to measure the fiber orientation distribution of axons within each voxel of an imaging volume and particularly the myelin content within each voxel.
The significance

is a process of gradual destruction of the myelin sheath, that surrounds many of the axons of nerve cells (neurons), leading to axonal injury or loss and consequently severely impaired nerve signals. The disease is named for the multiple scleroses (scars or plaques) that are created on the myelinated axons. A repair mechanism - remyelination of the axonsRead on »

attacks the myelin sheath that insulates axons, the nerve fibres that conduct electrical impulses to and from the brain and between neurons within the brain.
Ordinarily, the myelin speeds up the signals the axons transmit, called action potentials.
When axons lose their insulation, however, either signal conduction fails because the demyelinated axonsRead on »
