Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a devastating neurologic disease characterized by progressive motor dysfunction that leads to paralysis and eventually death. There are numerous hypotheses for the pathogenesis of this disease, but the mechanisms of degeneration were difficult to investigate be
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
