Axonal excitability revisited.
The original papers of Hodgkin and Huxley (J. Physiol. 116 (1952a) 449, J. Physiol. 116 (1952b) 473, J. Physiol. 116 (1952c) 497, J. Physiol. 117 (1952d) 500) have provided a benchmark in our understanding of cellular excitability. Not surprisingly, their model of the membrane action potential (AP) requires revisions even for the squid giant axon, the preparation for which it was originally for...
متن کاملAltered axonal excitability properties in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis: impaired potassium channel function related to disease stage.
Fasciculations are a characteristic feature of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and can arise proximally or distally in the motor neuron, indicating a widespread disturbance in membrane excitability. Previous studies of axonal excitability properties (i.e. threshold electrotonus, strength-duration time constant) have suggested respectively that change in potassium or sodium channels may be ...
متن کاملEfficacy of Upper Extremity Robotic Therapy in Subacute Poststroke Hemiplegia
Although stroke affects nearly 15 million people worldwide annually, with 5 million experiencing some degree of permanent paralysis, appropriate rehabilitation programs can improve motor function and quality of life. For example, repetitive voluntary movement of the paralyzed limb can improve function and remodel neural circuits. Robotic technologies may be effective for stroke rehabilitation b...
متن کاملComparing axonal excitability in past polio to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
INTRODUCTION Poliomyelitis causes selective destruction of anterior horn cells and usually has a stable disease course post-infection. We assessed the excitability characteristics in patients with a stable course after past poliomyelitis and compared them with changes described in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). METHODS The excitability characteristics of motor and sensory nerves were st...
متن کاملHidden dysfunctioning in subacute stroke.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Determining cognitive dysfunctioning (CDF) after stroke is an important issue because it influences choices for management in terms of return to previous activities. Because previous research in subacute stroke has shown important variations in CDF rates, we aimed to describe the frequency and neuropsychological profile of CDF in subacute stroke outside dementia. We used ...
