A very interesting article by Yongmei Chen et al.<ref>Chen Y, Gong X, Ibrahim SIA, Liang H, Zhang J.. [https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/pmid/36441755/ Convergent innervations of mesencephalic trigeminal and vestibular nuclei neurons onto oculomotor and pre-oculomotor neurons-Tract tracing and triple labeling in rats.] PLoS One. 2022 Nov 28;17(11):e0278205. doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0278205. eCollection 2022.PMID: 36441755 </ref> showed, through markers, how neurons afferent to the trigeminal mesencephalic nucleus (Vme) from the jaw muscles project to the oculomotor nuclei (III/IV) and their premotor neurons in the interstitial nucleus of Cajal (INC), a well-known pre-oculomotor center that vertically manipulates torsional eye movements. | ||
The conceptual conclusion of the authors was that the Vme proprioceptive neurons of the masticatory projecting muscles at III/IV and INC would detect spindle activity to spatial changes of the jaw conditioned by the force of gravity and/or by the connection between the mandible during rotation of the head. Thus, the convergent innervation of Vme and MVN neurons on the oculomotor and pre-oculomotor nuclei would be a neuroanatomical substrate for the interaction of masticatory proprioception with vestibulo-ocular signals on the oculomotor system during vertical-torsional VOR. The contribution of this article obviously allows us to consider a correlation between the trigeminal system, posture and gait, therefore, the abnormal asymmetry of the jaw jerk could be related to a postural disorder of our patient 'Balancer' | The conceptual conclusion of the authors was that the Vme proprioceptive neurons of the masticatory projecting muscles at III/IV and INC would detect spindle activity to spatial changes of the jaw conditioned by the force of gravity and/or by the connection between the mandible during rotation of the head.

'''Axonotmesis''' is a relatively more serious type of peripheral nerve injury and is usually caused by crushing, stretching, or percussion. In axonotmesis, the epineurium is intact, while the perineurium and endoneurium may be disrupted. The axon is separated from the soma and the axon and myelin sheath are disrupted. Wallerian degeneration occurs in the axon stump distal to the injury site within 24 to 36 hours after peripheral nerve injury. | '''Axonotmesis''' is a relatively more serious type of peripheral nerve injury and is usually caused by crushing, stretching, or percussion.

After neurotmesis, Schwann cells respond adaptively to axonal disruption, transitioning from a highly myelinated state to a dedifferentiated state. De-differentiated Schwann cells engulf axons and myelin debris and form a regenerative pathway for axon outgrowth. Additionally, activated Schwann cells secrete a group of cytokines, including tumor necrosis factor-alpha, interleukin-1 alpha, and leukemia inhibitory factor, to recruit macrophages and facilitate digestion of debris. Schwann cells also secrete a group of neurotrophic factors, including nerve growth factor, brain-derived neurotrophic factor, and glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor, to encourage neuron survival and axon elongation.<ref>Jessen KR, Mirsky R, Lloyd AC.

Needle electromyography (EMG) is the most sensitive electrodiagnostic study for motor axon loss, and low-amplitude motor responses appear with severe injuries. Decrease in motor response amplitude begins around days 2-3 and is complete by day 6. This reflects the fact that neuromuscular junction degeneration precedes axon degeneration and motor responses are dependent on neuromuscular junction transmission.<ref>Ferrante MA.
