Electrophysiological evaluation of the neuromuscular junction: a brief review
Arquivos de Neuro-Psiquiatria, 2023 The nerve terminal and muscle membrane compose the neuromuscular junction. After opening the voltage-gated calcium channels, action potentials from the motor axons provoke a cascade for the acetylcholine release from synaptic vesicles to the synaptic ...

Lambert‐Eaton Myasthenic Syndrome: A Review [PDF]
Journal of General and Family Medicine, 2016 Lambert‐Eaton myasthenic syndrome (LEMS) is an auto‐immune disorder caused by neuromuscular transmission failure, and is a representative pre‐neuromuscular junctional disorder. The auto‐immune antibody is anti‐P/Q‐type voltage‐gated calcium channel (P/Q‐type VGCC) antibody detected in approximately 80 to 90% of LEMS patients.
