Journal ArticleDOI

Malignant tumors of nerve sheath origin

TL;DR: Criteria were developed for establishing the nerve sheath origin and malignancy of a given neoplasm which allowed a secure diagnosis of malignant nerve she Heath tumor to be made in 11 of the 24 cases, and 7 cases were of uncertain histogenesis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Chronic traumatic encephalopathy is a common co-morbidity, but less frequent primary dementia in former soccer and rugby players

TL;DR: It is suggested that while CTE-NC might be common in former athletes with dementia, in many cases its clinical significance remains uncertain and this consecutive autopsy series identifies neuropathologic change consistent with preliminary diagnostic criteria for CTE (CTE-NC).
Journal ArticleDOI

Microtubule-stabilizing agents as potential therapeutics for neurodegenerative disease.

TL;DR: The growing evidence that small molecule MT-stabilizing agents provide benefit in animal models of neurodegenerative disease is highlighted and the desired features of such molecules for the treatment of these central nervous system disorders are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Neuron-specific age-related decreases in dopamine receptor subtype mRNAs.

TL;DR: The hypothesis that alterations in dopaminergic function may also be related to behavioral abnormalities, such as psychosis, that occur with aging is supported, and senescence may be a factor responsible for cell‐specific decrements in dopamine receptor gene expression in one population of neurons within a circuit that is critical for learning and memory.
