Developmental synaptic changes at the transient olivocochlear-inner hair cell synapse [PDF]
In the mature mammalian cochlea, inner hair cells (IHCs) are mainly innervated by afferent fibers that convey sound information to the CNS. During postnatal development, however, medial olivocochlear (MOC) efferent fibers transiently innervate the IHCs ...

Juvenile Neuromuscular Systems Show Amplified Disturbance to Muscle Unloading
Muscle unloading results in severe disturbance in neuromuscular function. During juvenile stages of natural development, the neuromuscular system experiences a high degree of plasticity in function and structure.

Potassium and Neuromuscular Transmission [PDF]
IN a study of the effects of ions on the rat diaphragm, it has been found that denervated preparations are much more sensitive to potassium than the normal diaphragm stimulated through its nerve. A dose of potassium, for example, exposure to a concentration of 0·08 per cent in Krebs's solution, which has no depressant action on normal muscle, may ...

Presynaptic Purinergic Modulation of the Rat Neuro-Muscular Transmission
ATP, being a well-known universal high-energy compound, plays an important role as a signaling molecule and together with its metabolite adenosine they both attenuate the release of acetylcholine in the neuro-muscular synapse acting through membrane P2 ...

Altered Function of the DnaJ Family Cochaperone DNJ-17 Modulates Locomotor Circuit Activity in a Caenorhabditis elegans Seizure Model. [PDF]
The highly conserved cochaperone DnaJ/Hsp40 family proteins are known to interact with molecular chaperone Hsp70, and can regulate many cellular processes including protein folding, translocation, and degradation.

Neuromuscular synaptic transmission in aged ganglioside-deficient mice [PDF]
Gangliosides are sialylated glycosphingolipids that are present in high density on neuronal membranes, especially at synapses, where they are assumed to play functional or modulating roles.

SNUPN‐Related Muscular Dystrophy: Novel Phenotypic, Pathological and Functional Protein Insights
ABSTRACT Objective SNUPN‐related muscular dystrophy or LGMDR29 is a new entity that covers from a congenital or childhood onset pure muscular dystrophy to more complex phenotypes combining neurodevelopmental features, cataracts, or spinocerebellar ataxia. So far, 12 different variants have been described.

Background During anaesthesia it is not uncommon to administer epinephrine in patients blocked by non-depolarizing muscle relaxants. However, there are few reports on possible interaction of epinephrine with neuromuscular transmission in humans.
