Because excitotoxicity may be involved in neurodegeneration in Alzheimer's disease, we investigated possible modifications of platelet glutamate uptake in AD patients. High-affinity glutamate uptake was studied in platelets from 35 Alzheimer's disease patients, 10 multi-infarct dementia patients, an

## Abstract Somatosensory deficits have been identified in cerebral palsy (CP), but associated cortical brain activity in CP remains poorly understood. Functional MRI was used to measure blood oxygenation levelβdependent (BOLD) responses during three tactile tasks in 10 participants with spastic di
The management of the child or adult with spasticity associated with cerebral palsy may include a number of treatment techniques, including physical therapy, orthopedic surgery, neurosurgery, and pharmacologic management. The purpose of this review is to provide a framework in which the pharmacologi
Local injection of botulinum toxin (BT) is a wellestablished treatment option for spastic movement disorders in children. BT blocks the release of acetylcholine from the axon terminal into the synaptic cleft of the motor endplate resulting in paresis of the injected musculature. Such localised, temp
