Modeling cerebral palsy in animals
Abstract Advancements in the treatment of cerebral palsy depend on animal research. Yet, most animal models have not been fully evaluated for spasticity and dystonia using clinically relevant measures of altered tone or movement patterns, which form the basis for diagnosing people with the condition.

Capsaicin protects neuromuscular junctions from the inhibitory effects of botulinum neurotoxin A [PDF]
Within 24 hrs after injecting botulinum neurotoxin A (BoNT/A) into the hindlimb, mice lost the toe spread reflex and developed progressive muscle weakness. At the same time, the compound muscle action potential amplitude decreased. Injection of capsaicin

Synaptotagmin Binding to Botulinum Neurotoxins
Botulinum neurotoxins (BoNTs) are exceptionally toxic proteins that cause paralysis but are also extensively used as treatment for various medical conditions. Most BoNTs bind two receptors on neuronal cells, namely, a ganglioside and a protein receptor.

Review of published research on primary dysautonomia of domestic animals
Abstract An article published in 1992 by Marion M. Pollin and I.R. Griffiths reviewed the topic of primary dysautonomias of the autonomic nervous system of unidentified origin in multiple domestic species, specifically cats, dogs and horses. Thirty‐one years later, we appear no closer to identifying the causal agents of these strikingly similar ...
