Cholinergic inputs to motoneurons in the spinal cord augment focal muscle spasticity in rodents
British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.Background and Purpose Cholinergic premotor inputs to motoneurons support high levels of motor output when required. However, the possible role of these inputs in pathologically elevated muscle tone has not been characterised. To address this, we examined the modulatory effect of spinal acetylcholine (ACh) on experimental spastic paralysis ...

Developmental Medicine &Child Neurology, EarlyView.This was a retrospective cohort study of 322 patients with upper trunk brachial plexus birth injury following nerve surgery of C5 and/or C6. We found that a substantial gap remained between passive and active shoulder external rotation in adduction, indicating that passive mobility is not the limiting factor in active external rotation recovery ...

, 2009 Botulinum neurotoxins (BoNTs) are highly potent poisons produced by seven serotypes of Clostridium botulinum. The mechanism of neurotoxin action is a multistep process which leads to the cleavage of one of three different SNARE proteins essential for ...

Independent evolution of neurotoxin and flagellar genetic loci in proteolytic
BMC Genomics, 2009 Background Proteolytic Clostridium botulinum is the causative agent of botulism, a severe neuroparalytic illness. Given the severity of botulism, surprisingly little is known of the population structure, biology, phylogeny or evolution of C.
