Abstract excerpt
Spinal motoneurons are highly vulnerable in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).Previous research using a standard animal model, the mutant superoxide dismutase-1 (SOD1)mouse, has revealed deficits in many cellular properties throughout its lifespan. The electrical properties underlying motoneuron excitability are some of the earliest to change; starting at 1 week postnatal, persistent inward currents (PICs)...
