Topic:Nervous System
The nervous system in horses is a complex network responsible for transmitting signals between different parts of the body. It consists of the central nervous system (CNS), which includes the brain and spinal cord, and the peripheral nervous system (PNS), which comprises nerves that extend throughout the body. The nervous system regulates various physiological processes, including movement, sensation, and the coordination of bodily functions. It plays a critical role in processing sensory information and initiating appropriate responses. This page compiles peer-reviewed research studies and scholarly articles that explore the structure, function, and clinical implications of the equine nervous system, including its role in behavior, response to stimuli, and neurological disorders.
The Histology of Equine Encephalomyelitis. The virus of equine encephalomyelitis (eastern strain) evokes in the horse, calf, sheep and dog an unusually intense encephalomyelitis characterized by acute primary degeneration of nerve cells, the appearance in neurons of the brain stem and elsewhere of nuclear inclusions resembling those in Borna disease and poliomyelitis, polymorphonuclear infiltration in the nervous tissues with early microglial proliferation, and perivascular cuffing with mononuclears and polymorphonuclears in varying proportions. The grey matter is affected more than the white. Lesions may be less marked in the striatum...
Toxins and Antitoxins of Bacillus Dysenteriae Shiga. With the methods which have been described we have separated an exotoxin and an endotoxin from cultures of the Shiga dysenteric bacillus. The study of the nature and effect of the poison of this microorganism is thus simplified. The two toxins are physically and biologically distinct. The exotoxin is relatively heat-labile, arises in the early period of growth, and yields an antiexotoxic immune serum. The endotoxin, on the other hand, is heat-stable, is formed in the later period of growth, and is not neutralized by the antiexotoxic serum. The exotoxin exhibits a specific affinity for the cent...
