, Lecture 2 – General Introduction: Pediatric and Adult Neurology
Menno Schoonheim – 07/09/21
Clinical neuroscience → aim to
translate between basic preclinical
neuroscience and the clinical setting of
neurology
Histopathology multiple scleroses
- Scar tissue
- Fluid which makes myeline brown
- White circles → no myeline
- Different tissue in peripheral nerve system then central nerve system
o Other cells in central nerve system → Oligodendrocyte
o This is a normal cell in the brain, but in MS they are not wrapped in myeline
o Schwanncells in peripheral nerve system
o So, the central nerve system can be
attacked by MS → sometimes also the
peripheral, but then the myeline
thickness is not thick enough
- Knowledge of histopathology on a
normal brain can help understand the process
of MS
- Black dots in histopathology are
immune cells which are around the blood
vessels → normally they are not in the brain (T-
cells)
