In an autopsied case of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) with dementia (a 65-year-old man with a 4-year course) showing numerous Bunina bodies in the lower motor neurons including those of cranial motor nuclei, eosinophilic inclusions were also observed in several neurons of the reticular formati

Bunina inclusion bodies were distribution abundantly in the nerve cell cytoplasm of case of amyothrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). They appeared mainly in the motor nuclei of the brainstem and spinal cord on a routine examination. Although the oculomotor nucleus is known to be spared in ALS, Bunina b
We have used peristimulus time histograms to study how paired, transcranial magnetic stimulation alters the firing of single motor units and the magnitude of unitary excitatory postsynaptic potentials (EPSPs) recorded from the extensor digitorum communis muscle. With stimulus intensity at threshold
The objective of this study was to examine the contribution of lower motor neuron (LMN) and upper motor neuron (UMN) dysfunction to weakness and impaired motor control in 27 patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Isometric strength was measured by dorsiflexor maximum voluntary contractio
Mutations of Cu,Zn superoxide dismutase cause an autosomal dominant form of familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. An animal model of the disease has been produced by expressing mutant human SOD1 in transgenic mice (G93A). In order to quantify the dysfunction of the motor unit in transgenic mice, e
