Special Issue Article “Demyelinating”
Abstract: Myelin Oligodendrocyte Glycoprotein antibodies (MOG-ab) have been identified in a range of acquired demyelinating syndromes in the pediatric population. Numerous studies have aimed to establish the role of MOG-ab in these disease processes as well as describe the features...

Special Issue Article “Neurodegenerative Diseases”
Abstract: Spinocerebellar ataxia type 3 (SCA3, also known as Machado-Joseph disease) is an autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disorder [1]. SCA3 is caused by the CAG nucleotide repeat expansion of the ataxin-3 gene, generating polyglutamine-(polyQ- ) containing ataxin-3. Normal individuals...

Special Issue Article “Spinal Muscular Atrophy”
Abstract: Without effective respiratory management, all patients with SMA type 1 and the 50% with type 2 and paradoxical breathing die in infancy or early childhood. Usually benign Upper Respiratory tract Infections (URIs) typically cause pneumonia and acute respiratory failure. Patients...

Special Issue Article “Nerve Injury”
Abstract: Facial motoneurons express an ion channel-type gamma-aminobutyric acid receptor (GABAAR) that is constructed from five subunits, including , and subunits. The transection of rat facial nerve was reported to lead to a significant downregulation of the GABAAR1 subunit. In this study,...
