Project: The pathomechanism of spontaneous peripheral neuropathy in aging rats
2013-10-01 – 2017-09-30
- Abstract
In ageing rats, there is a high incidence of spontaneous peripheral neuropathy, resulting in hind limb paresis, evolving to complete hind limb
paralysis. Lesions developing in the rats’ peripheral nervous system will be followed up
in vivo, using Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) and electrophysiological examination. Thereafter, early pathobiology of the disorder will be studied more in depth.
