Cortical and Subcortical Contributions to Neuroplasticity after Repetitive Transspinal Stimulation in Humans by Lynda M. Murray, Md. Anamul Islam, Maria Knikou

“…Additionally, the soleus H-reflex and ankle TEP depression following transspinal and group Ia afferent conditioning stimulation was potentiated at intervals when both responses interacted at the spinal cord and nerve axons. These findings support the notion that repetitive transspinal stimulation decreases corticocortical inputs onto corticospinal neurons and promotes a surround inhibition in the spinal cord and nerve axons. …”

Neurodegeneration in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus without Diabetic Retinopathy by Elena Garcia-Martin, Marta Cipres, Isabel Melchor, Laura Gil-Arribas, Elisa Vilades, Vicente Polo, Maria Jesus Rodrigo, Maria Satue

“…Patients with type 2 DM without diabetic retinopathy and good metabolic control present neurodegeneration affecting neurons in the macular area and axons in different sectors of the optic disc. Systemic vascular complications contributed to further axonal damage in these patients, suggesting a possible role of subclinical ischaemia to retinal neurodegeneration in type 2 DM.…”
