Mouse motor neurons (green), neuromuscular junctions (red), and blood vessels (purple) are depicted in the image. Motor nerves found in the spinal cord project out to the periphery, where they contact ...

Our understanding of transmission at the neuromuscular junction has increased greatly in recent years. We now recognise a wide variety of autoimmune and genetic diseases that affect this specialised ...

Read more about Eaton-Lambert syndrome. Myasthenia gravis is a disorder in which normal communication between the nerve and muscle is interrupted at the neuromuscular junction. Normally when impulses ...

The term “neuromuscular disorders” is used to refer to a broad range of conditions that include diseases of the nerves, muscles, motor neurons, and neuromuscular junction. Examples of these health ...

the communication between motor neurons and muscles (neuromuscular junctions), and muscles themselves. The Baylor Medicine Neuromuscular Disorders Center incorporates the latest advances in diagnosis.

The aims of our research program are 1) to identify processes or effectors supporting the formation and/or the maintenance of the muscle / nerve connections and, 2) to unveil mechanisms threatening ...

Congenital myasthenic syndromes (CMSs) are a heterogeneous group of disorders that affect the safety margin of neuromuscular transmission — the depolarization that is required for propagation of ...

This case is not only the first acute carbendazim intoxication to be reported but also the first to demonstrate the motor end plate or neuromuscular junction dysfunction that was shown by SFEMG. In ...

These clinics expose fellows to the comprehensive assessment, monitoring, and treatment of neurological disorders involving peripheral nervous systems, including neuropathy, plexopathy, radiculopathy, ...

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Types include: Observational study — observes people and measures outcomes without affecting results. Interventional study (clinical trial) — studies new ...

Abstract: We examined the overall morphology of subneural apparatuses (SNAs) at neuromuscular junctions by scanning electron microscopy in the extensor digitorum longus muscle of aged (18 months) rats ...
