Evaluation of Motor Neuron Excitability by CMAP Scanning with Electric Modulated Current
Introduction. Compound Muscle Action Potential (CMAP) scan is a noninvasive promissory technique for neurodegenerative pathologies diagnosis. In this work new CMAP scan protocols were implemented to study the influence of electrical pulse waveform on peripheral nerve excitability. Methods. A total of 13 healthy subjects were tested. Stimulation was performed with an increasing intensities range...
متن کاملPre- and postsynaptic mechanisms underlying inhibition of hypoglossal motor neuron excitability by riluzole.
Riluzole is the sole treatment for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), but its therapeutically relevant actions on motor neurons are not well defined. Whole cell patch-clamp recordings were made from hypoglossal motor neurons (HMs, n = 25) in brain stem slices from 10- to 23-day-old rats anesthetized with pentobarbital sodium to investigate the hypothesis that riluzole inhibits HMs by multiple...
متن کاملMotor Cortex Excitability is Modulated by Cutaneous Electrical Stimulation of the Foot Sole
MOTOR CORTEX EXCITABILITY IS MODULATED BY CUTANEOUS ELECTRICAL STIMULATION OF THE FOOT SOLE Gagandeep Gill Advisor: University of Guelph, 2016 Dr. Leah R. Bent Lower limb peripheral nerve stimulation, which activates cutaneous afferents from the foot dorsum, has been shown to generate transcortical reflex responses. This suggests that the motor cortex may play a role in modulating lower limb cu...
متن کاملReduction of cortical pyramidal neuron excitability by the action of phenytoin on persistent Na+ current.
We examined the effect of the anticonvulsant phenytoin (PT) (20-200 microM) on the persistent Na+ current (INaP), INaP-dependent membrane potential responses and repetitive firing in layer 5 pyramidal neurons in a slice preparation of rat sensorimotor cortex. INaP measured directly with voltage-clamp was reduced in a concentration-dependent manner with an apparent EC50 value of 78 microM. Clear...
