Experimental autoimmune encephalitis

Waxman We don t know the full answer. We have looked at two other areas in experimental autoimmune encephalitis (EAE) where neurons send axons through tracts that are demyelinated. We have looked at red nucleus neurons that send their axons down the spinal cord, and we have looked at sensorimotor cortex neurons. We do not see changes that are nearly as dramatic as what we see in the cerebellum. We are in the midst of doing a survey of the entire neuraxis.

EAE experimental allergic/autoimmune encephalitis is an animal model for demyelinating diseases, such as multiple sclerosis. It is induced by injection of myelin basic protein or whole CNS tissue together with adjuvants.
