Zentrifugale (antidrome) Nervenfasern im menschlichen Sehnerven
Sehnerven von zwei Patienten wurden histologisch untersucht, deren zugehörige Retinae einmal 11 und einmal 16 Jahre zuvor operativ entfernt wurden. In beiden Sehnerven wurden gleicherweise noch zahlreiche, feine Nervenfasern erhalten gefunden. Diese Tatsache wird als Beweis für die Existenz zentrifugaler Nervenfasern im Sehnerven des Menschen angesehen.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/47364/1/417_2004_Article_BF00684757.pd
Cortical injury in multiple sclerosis; the role of the immune system
The easily identifiable, ubiquitous demyelination and neuronal damage that occurs within the cerebral white matter of patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) has been the subject of extensive study. Accordingly, MS has historically been described as a disease of the white matter. Recently, the cerebral cortex (gray matter) of patients with MS has been recognized as an additional and major site of disease pathogenesis. This acknowledgement of cortical tissue damage is due, in part, to more powerful MRI that allows detection of such injury and to focused neuropathology-based investigations. Cortical tissue damage has been associated with inflammation that is less pronounced to that which is associated with damage in the white matter. There is, however, emerging evidence that suggests cortical damage can be closely associated with robust inflammation not only in the parenchyma, but also in the neighboring meninges. This manuscript will highlight the current knowledge of inflammation associated with cortical tissue injury. Historical literature along with contemporary work that focuses on both the absence and presence of inflammation in the cerebral cortex and in the cerebral meninges will be reviewed

Gardens of happiness: Sir William Temple, temperance and China
This is the author accepted manuscript. The final version is available from Taylor & Francis via the DOI in this recordSir William Temple, an English statesman and humanist, wrote “Upon the
Gardens of Epicurus” in 1685, taking a neo-epicurean approach to happiness
and temperance. In accord with Pierre Gassendi’s epicureanism, “happiness” is
characterised as freedom from disturbance and pain in mind and body, whereas
“temperance” means following nature (Providence and one’s physiopsychological constitution). For Temple, cultivating fruit trees in his garden was
analogous to the threefold cultivation of temperance as a virtue in the humoral
body (as food), the mind (as freedom from the passions), and the bodyeconomic (as circulating goods) in order to attain happiness. A regimen that was
supposed to cure the malaise of Restoration amidst a crisis of unbridled
passions, this threefold cultivation of temperance underlines Temple’s reception
of China and Confucianism wherein happiness and temperance are highlighted.
Thus Temple’s “gardens of happiness” represent not only a reinterpretation of
classical ideas, but also his dialogue with China.European CommissionLeverhulme Trus
