Astrocytic proliferation and hypertrophy (astrogliosis) are associated with neuronal injury. However, neither the temporal nor the spatial relationship between astrocytes and injured neurons is clear, especially in neurodegenerative diseases. We investigated these questions in a mouse amyotrophic la
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
