Intrinsic properties of lumbar motor neurones in the adult G127insTGGG superoxide dismutase‐1 mutant mouse in vivo: evidence for increased persistent inward currents
27 Sept 2010
Abstract excerpt
AIM: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease characterized by a preferential loss of motor neurones. Previous publications using in vitro neonatal preparations suggest an increased excitability of motor neurones in various superoxide dismutase-1 (SOD1) mutant mice models of ALS which may contribute to excitotoxicity of the motor neurones. METHODS: Using intracellular...
