Anatomy and Physiology of the Autonomic Nervous System | Randy H. Kardon, MD, PhD, Director of Neuro-Ophthalmology Services, Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences, University of Iowa | "Body functions that are regulated independently of voluntary activity using reflex mechanisms involving afferent nerve input, efferent nerve output, and central integrating nerve pathways are part of the autonomic nervous system." |

|
Phacomatoses | John Kerrison, MD, Retina Consultants of Charleston | "Syndromes characterized by hamartomas of the skin, eye, central nervous system (CNS), and other viscera are collectivelycalled phacomatoses (1). These disorders produce significant visual and neurologic disturbances. Although most of these syndromes arise from mutations in single genes inherited in... |

Headache and Facial Pain | Gregory P. Van Stavern, MD, Associate Professor, Ophthalmology & Visual Sciences and Neurology, Washington University School of Medicine | "Headache and facial pain are common complaints and represent a diverse range of etiologies, from benign to lifeand vision-threatening." |

|
Ischemic Optic Neuropathy | Anthony C. Arnold, MD, UCLA | "Ischemic syndromes of the optic nerve (ischemic optic neuropathy [ION]) are classified according to (a) the location of the ischemic damage of the nerve and (b) the etiologic factor, if known, for the ischemia." |

|
Lesions Produced by Infections and Inflammations of the Central Nervous System | Barrett J. Katz, MD, MBA | "The central nervous system (CNS) is anatomically protected from invasion by most organisms by structures such as bone, fibrous membranes, and vascular tight junctions (1-3). Nevertheless, once organisms gain entry to the CNS, they proliferate more easily than almost anywhere else in the body." |

|
Multiple Sclerosis and Related Demyelinating Diseases | Laura J. Balcer, MD, Professor, Department of Neurology, NYU Langone | "Destruction of myelin, demyelination, may occur in a variety of diverse inflammatory disorders. Demyelination may result from viral infections and is a prominent feature in the group of disorders known as the demyelinating diseases, of which multiple sclerosis (MS) is perhaps the most well known." |

|
Spirochetal Diseases | Lesser, Robert L | "Spirochetes are widely distributed in nature and often are found in aquatic environments, but they colonize humans. All spirochetal infections are characterized by skin or mucous membrane penetration followed by a spirochetemia that produces damage during several clinical stages (2)." |
