of the putamen. In other words one pattern of territories can be affected in one animal and different pattern of territories in another.

The subject of regional vulnerability is of particular interest in the pons. Myelinolysis was first discovered in the central pons of autopsied humans \[[@CR1]\]. Much speculation followed about what factors predisposed the central pons to the disorder. One dog in this study developed symmetric bilateral pontine rather than central pontine disease. Rarely this pattern of pontine involvement is seen in humans. Thus, whatever features of the pons renders it vulnerable is not necessarily peculiar to the midline. It can be paracentral.

In a particular dog the lesions of myelinolysis did not appear simultaneously on MRI scans. For example, pontine and cerebellar lesions became visible later than corticalWisconsin-based poker pro Mark Kroon was recently part of a collective effort by poker players in the state to get poker classified as a game of skill like darts and pool and considered legal in the eyes of the law.
