Assessment of myelin thickness and axon circularity in a dorsal root of the mouse. (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Durbaba, R., Rudd, D., Hulliger, M., & Banks, R. (2012). Assessment of myelin thickness and axon circularity in a dorsal root of the mouse.

Previous studies of peripheral nerves and ventral roots have shown that myelin thickness increases non-linearly with axon size and that axon circularity may be dependent on axon size (e.g. Arbuthnott et al. 1980; Biscoe et al. 1982; Ceballos et al. 1...

Pharmacological profile of non-canonical mGluR regulating mechanosensory nerve terminal firing. (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Watson, S., Zanato, C., Dall'Angello, S., Banks, R., Greig, I., Zanda, M., & Bewick, G. (2012). Pharmacological profile of non-canonical mGluR regulating mechanosensory nerve terminal firing.

The system involved in mechanotransduction by proprioceptive sensory organs, such as muscle spindles, is poorly understood. We recently reported that stretch releases glutamate from synaptic-like vesicles within spindle terminals, and activates a non...
