TL;DR: In this paper, a magnetospinography system with high-sensitivity superconducting quantum interference device sensors was used to obtain magnetic recordings of electrical activities in the cervical cord and visualize sensory action currents of the dorsal column, intervertebral foramen, and dorsal horn.

Motor nerve conduction study in cauda equina with high-voltage electrical stimulation in multifocal motor neuropathy and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
Miho Akaza,Tadashi Kanouchi,Akira Inaba,Yoshiyuki Numasawa,Takashi Irioka,Hidehiro Mizusawa,Takanori Yokota +6 more
TL;DR: Cauda equina motor conduction is better evaluated by HV‐ES than with F‐wave study or magnetic stimulation, and can help to distinguish MMN and “MMN without CB” from ALS.

Chiasmal optic neuritis following mumps parotitis
TL;DR: Physical, neurological, and routine laboratory examinations were normal, and blood mitochondrial DNA analysis revealed no point mutations responsible for Leber’s hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON).

Public awareness and experiences associated with epilepsy in Japan, 2013-2017
TL;DR: It is revealed that participants who had some experience with epilepsy had higher knowledge levels in both 2013 and 2017, which suggests that such experiences could be important for motivating people to seek appropriate and accurate knowledge about epilepsy, and could result in a reduction of stigma.
