The question of the relationship of the borderline trunk of the sympathetic nerve to the central nervous system is almost completely undeveloped until the present time, and only recently, thanks to the improvement of methods for studying nerve fibers, it became possible for a more accurate further development of this issue.

Not only in the peripheral working organs, irritating substances are formed, which, as we can see, take an active part in their regulation, but also in the central nervous system, in the relationship of its individual elements, such substances apparently play an important role.

In a compact yet clear manner, this book discusses the uses and limitations of encephalography in the diagnosis, study and treatment of diseases of the central nervous system. Technical details, controversial matter, and interpretative record evaluations are offered in as simplified a manner as is possible, and consistent with reasonable accuracy. In addition to short descriptions of the pertinent historical background, basic neurophysiology involved and general technics, the book also includes chapters on the relationship of the EEG to epilepsy, neurologic and neurosurgical problems, and psychiatric conditions.

Workers in the finer structure of the nervous system are suffering from a plethora of observations. New and more searching methods are being discovered every day, and no sooner does he who sets about constructing a scheme of the central nervous system arrive at something which appears to be satisfactory than he has to pull it to pieces and reconstruct it, to fit in further detail which has been brought to light in the meanwhile. Until this vast array of observations has been properly digested, a process which may well take years, we can scarcely hope to obtain a scheme of the relationship of the nerve-cells to one another which will be more than a working hypothesis.

A study of myelination with electron microscopy has been carried out on the spinal cord of young rats and cats. In longitudinal and transverse sections the intimate relationship of the growing axons with the oligodendrocytes was observed. Early naked axons appear to be embedded within the cytoplasm and processes of the oligodendrocytes from which they are limited only by the intimately apposed membranes of both elements (axon-oligocytic membrane). In a transverse section several axons are observed to be in a single oligodendrocyte. The process of myelination consists in the laying down, within the cytoplasm of the oligodendrocyte and around the axon, of concentric membranous myelin layers. The first of these layers is deposited at a certain distance (200 to 600 A or more) from the axon-oligocytic membrane. This and all the other subsequently formed membranes have higher electron density and are apparently formed by the coalescence and fusion of vesicles (of 200 to 800 A) and membranes found in large amounts within the cytoplasm of the oligodendrocytes. At an early stage the myelin layers may be discontinuous and some vesicular material may even be trapped among them or between the myelin proper and the axon-oligocytic membrane. Then, when the 8th to 10th layer is deposited, the complete coalescence and alignment of the lamellae leads to the characteristic orderly multilayered organization of the myelin sheath. Myelination in the central nervous system appears to be a process of membrane synthesis within the cytoplasm of the oligodendrocyte and not a result of the wrapping of the plasma membranes as postulated in Geren's hypothesis for the peripheral nerve fibers. The possible participation of Schwann cell cytoplasm in peripheral myelination is now being investigated.

The hypothesis is introduced that miniaturization of neuronal circuits in the central nervous system and the hierarchical organization of the various levels, where information handling can take place, may be the key to understand the enormous capability of the human brain to store engrams as well as its astonishing capacity to reconstruct and organize engrams and thus to perform highly sophisticated integrations. The concept is also proposed that in order to understand the relationship between the structural and functional plasticity of the central nervous system it is necessary to postulate the existence of memory storage at the network level, at the local circuit level, at the synaptic level, at the membrane level, and finally at the molecular level. Thus, memory organization is similar to the hierarchical organization of the various levels, where information handling takes place in the nervous system. In addition, each higher level plays a role in the reconstruction and organization of the engrams stored at lower levels. Thus, the trace of the functionally stored memory (i.e. its reconstruction and organization at various levels of storage) will depend not only on the chemicophysical changes in the membranes of the local circuits but also on the organization of the local circuits themselves and their associated neuronal networks.

AbstractNeuropathic pain is defined as a chronic pain condition that occurs or persists after a primary lesion or dysfunction of the peripheral or central nervous system. Traumatic injury of peripheral nerves also increases the excitability of nociceptors in and around nerve trunks and involves components released from nerve terminals (neurogenic inflammation) and immunological and vascular components from cells resident within or recruited into the affected area. Action potentials generated in nociceptors and injured nerve fibers release excitatory neurotransmitters at their synaptic terminals such as L-glutamate and substance P and trigger cellular events in the central nervous system that extend over different time frames. Short-term alterations of neuronal excitability, reflected for example in rapid changes of neuronal discharge activity, are sensitive to conventional analgesics, and do not commonly involve alterations in activity-dependent gene expression. Novel compounds and new regimens for drug treatment to influence activity-dependent long-term changes in pain transducing and suppressive systems (pain matrix) are emerging.
