    Department of Health Sciences, Boston University, Boston, MA 02215, USA
    Acta Neuropathol 114:551-71. 2007
    ..The theory of amyloid plaque pathogenesis has thus come full circle, back to the intuitions of the very first researchers in the field...
  2. ncbi Mitochondrial degeneration in dystrophic neurites of senile plaques may lead to extracellular deposition of fine filaments
    John C Fiala
    Department of Health Sciences, Boston University, 635 Commonwealth Ave, Boston, MA 02215, USA
    Brain Struct Funct 212:195-207. 2007
    ..This progression of degeneration suggests that extracellular filaments originate inside degenerating mitochondria of neuritic diverticula, which may be a common process in diverse diseases...
  3. ncbi Reconstruct: a free editor for serial section microscopy
    J C Fiala
    Department of Biology, Boston University, Boston, MA, USA
    J Microsc 218:52-61. 2005
    ..As a flexible editor, Reconstruct can reduce the time and resources expended for serial section studies and allows a larger tissue volume to be analysed more quickly...
  4. ncbi Dendritic spine pathology: cause or consequence of neurological disorders?
    John C Fiala
    Department of Biology, Boston University, 5 Cummington Street, MA 02215, USA
    Brain Res Brain Res Rev 39:29-54. 2002
    ..More detailed studies are needed to determine the cause of spine pathology in most disorders and relationship between spine pathology and cognitive deficits...
  5. ncbi Polyribosomes redistribute from dendritic shafts into spines with enlarged synapses during LTP in developing rat hippocampal slices
    Linnaea E Ostroff
    Biology Department, Program in Neuroscience, Boston University, 5 Cummington Street, Boston, MA 02215, USA

    J Neurosci 22:2215-24. 2002
    ..Small vesicles did not colocalize in spines with endosomes or SER. Three-dimensional reconstructions revealed that up to 20 spines shared a recycling pool of plasmalemmal proteins rather than maintaining independent stores at each spine...
  10. ncbi Cylindrical diameters method for calibrating section thickness in serial electron microscopy

    Department of Biology and Program in Neuroscience, 5 Cummington St, Boston University, Boston MA 02215, USA
    J Microsc 202:468-72. 2001
    ..The cylindrical diameters method gives the same answer as that obtained by the minimal folds METHOD: It is preferable because it can be done in a series that has no folds that can distort and obscure the objects that are being measured...
