As myoclonus is often associated with abnormally increased excitability of cortical structures, electrophysiological studies provide useful information for its diagnosis and classification and about its generator mechanisms. The EEG-EMG polygraph provides the most essential information about the myo

## Abstract Inherited myoclonus‐dystonia (M‐D) is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by myoclonus and dystonia that often improves with alcohol. To examine the electrophysiologic characteristics of M‐D, we studied 6 patients from 4 different families and 9 age‐matched healthy subjects. Ne
## Abstract Levetiracetam is a new antiepileptic agent that exerts antimyoclonic effects. We conducted an open‐label trial to evaluate the effect of levetiracetam in chronic cortical myoclonus of diverse etiologies and to determine whether levetiracetam affects electrophysiological findings. Sixtee
## Abstract To supplement existing knowledge regarding the pathophysiology of the opsoclonus‐myoclonus syndrome, electrophysiological findings are reported in three patients with idiopathic opsoclonus–myoclonus. Surface electromyography (EMG) revealed <100‐ms synchronous discharges correlating with
