The paper describes the clinical and morphological features of a congenital neurological disease affecting two in-bred litter-mate kittens. The principal neurological features were ataxia and dysmetria. In one of the kittens light microscopy revealed widespread vacuolation of white and grey matter
Spongy degeneration of the CNS was diagnosed in 2 female Labrador Retriever littermates. The dogs had histories of progressive cerebellar ataxia and episodes of extreme extensor rigidity beginning at 4 and 6 months of age. One had a history of hearing difficulties. When examined at 9 months of age,
Neurological manifestations are very common and can be the leading and/or presenting feature in organic acid disorders, sometimes in the absence of metabolic derangement. Review of the time course and presentation of neurological disease in organic acid disorders reveals characteristic clinical
A 68 year old woman with sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease is described, who neither showed characteristic EEG abnormalities nor a positive test of the neuronal protein 14-3-3 or neuron specific enolase (NSE) in CSF, despite a clinical presentation with ataxia of cerebellar type, rapidly
Considering the suitability of laboratory rats in epilepsy research, we and other groups have been developing genetic models of epilepsy in this species. After epileptic rats or seizure-susceptible rats were sporadically found in outbred stocks, the epileptic traits were usually genetically-fixed by
Recently, adeno-associated virus (AAV)-mediated gene therapies have attracted clinical interest for treating neurodegenerative diseases including spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), Canavan disease (CD), Parkinson's disease (PD), and Friedreich's ataxia (FA). The influx of clinical findings led to the
