Alterations of electrical properties in the adult motoneurons in the mSOD1 mouse model of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis

Description:

In Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), spinal motoneurons degenerate in the order of large motoneurons that innervate fast and fatigable muscle fibers to small motoneurons that innervate slow muscle fibers (Pun et al. 2006). This order of degeneration is peculiar in that it is in direct opposition to the normal order...
