A 59 year old man initially presented with weakness in his right leg and occasional trips. He had a longstanding history of mild low back pain and had a magnetic resonance image performed under the orthopaedic team that showed some cervical spondylolisthesis sparing the spinal cord.

International Review of Neurobiology, 1999
Publisher Summary This chapter describes three sensory-to-motor reflexes and their associated central circuits and synapses. The uniquely identifiable neurons comprising these reflex circuits offer an excellent opportunity for investigating detailed molecular mechanisms underlying the development and operation of the central nervous system (CNS ...

Essential facts Motor neurone disease describes a group of related diseases, affecting the neurones in the brain and spinal cord. Progressive, incurable and life-limiting, MND is rare, with about 1,100 people developing it each year in the UK and up to 5,000 people affected at any one time.

Motor neurons rely on motor proteins
Trends in Cell Biology, 2004The importance of active axonal transport to the neuron has been highlighted by the recent discoveries that mutations in microtubule motor proteins result in neurodegenerative diseases. Mutations affecting microtubule motor function have been shown to cause hereditary forms of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (type 2A), hereditary spastic paraplegia and ...

Swelling of neuronal processes in motor neuron disease
Neurology, 1988We investigated serial sections of the anterior horns of the lower lumbar cord by a modified Bielschowsky's silver impregnation, in a case of sporadic lower motor neuron disease. We paid special attention to any direct connection between the swellings of neuronal processes and the perikarya.

Neuronal diversification: development of motor neuron subtypes
Current Opinion in Neurobiology, 1998Recent progress has been made in defining the developmental mechanisms that contribute to the diversification of motor neuron subtypes, which differ in transcription factor gene expression and synaptic connections. These studies suggest that progenitor cells acquire specific motor neuron identities through the coordinate actions of multiple factors ...

Ocular motor function in motor neuron disease
Neurology, 1992We studied ocular motor function in 34 patients with motor neuron disease (MND) and in 18 age-matched controls. This included the latency, accuracy, and amplitude-velocity relationships of saccades. We also examined ocular pursuit, the slow phases of optokinetic nystagmus, and the ability to suppress the vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) with visual ...

Central motor conduction in motor neuron disease
Annals of Neurology, 1987AbstractCentral motor conduction was assessed in 13 patients with motor neuron disease and in 15 control subjects. All patients with motor neuron disease, even those without clinical pyramidal signs, had slowed central motor conduction, and in some the delays were asymmetrical.

The reorganization of motor units in motor neuron disease
Muscle & Nerve, 1997We studied 78 patients with motor neuron disease (MND) using concentric needle electromyography. Analysis on weak and maximal effort was performed using our own, fully automated, computer method, EMG-LAB. In addition to the conventional parameters of single motor unit action potentials (MUAPs) and interference pattern, new criteria were applied: the ...

Trophic protection of motor neurons: clinical potential in motor neuron diseases
Journal of Neurology, 1994Recent advances in understanding the physiologic role of nerve growth factor (NGF), obtained both from tissue culture and efficacy studies in animals, have suggested that neurotrophic factors may have clinical potential in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases or nerve trauma [12,21].
