Retraction nystagmus indicates the presence of a lesion in the rostra1 periaqueductal-midbrain region [31. It may occur spontaneously or on deviation of gaze from the midposition, most commonly on attempts to look upward. In the patient described here, retraction nystagmus occurred only on bilateral

This study examined the morphological changes that a homogeneous mammalian spinal motoneuron population undergoes during foetal development. Retrograde labelling of the phrenic nerve with the carbocyanine dye, DiI, was used to visualise developmental changes in phrenic motoneuron morphology within t
Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) or Werdnig-Hoffmann disease is the second most common neuromuscular disease, with 25% of cases presenting in infancy. Deletions in the survival motor neuron gene are believed responsible for autosomal-recessive SMA. SMA affects about 1 in 10,000 births. Symptomatic newb
## Abstract The collision technique was used to determine the origin of distal fasciculations in 25 motor units from 9 patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and 6 with other diseases involving motoneurons. Fasciculations originated in the nerve proximal to the knee or elbow in 15 and distally
Immunocytochemistry for choline acetyltransferase (ChAT) and the vesicular acetylcholine transporter (VAChT) was used to examine the expression of these linked cholinergic markers in human basal forebrain, including cases with early stages of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Previous neurochemical studies
