Apathy in Lewy Body Disorders: A Position Paper
Abstract Apathy is one of the most prevalent and disabling non‐motor symptoms in Parkinson's disease (PD) and dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB), collectively referred to as Lewy body disorders (LBDs). It is associated with reduced quality of life, accelerated cognitive decline, increased caregiver burden, and poorer functional outcomes, yet remains ...

A Cholinergic Synaptically Triggered Event Participates in the Generation of Persistent Activity Necessary for Eye Fixation [PDF]
An exciting topic regarding integrative properties of the nervous system is how transient motor commands or brief sensory stimuli are able to evoke persistent neuronal changes, mainly as a sustained, tonic action potential firing.

ABSTRACT Congenital myasthenic syndromes (CMS) are inherited disorders caused by mutations in genes encoding proteins essential for neuromuscular junction (NMJ) function. Pathogenic variants have been identified in more than 35 genes, underscoring the complexity of synaptic biology and the wide range of mechanisms that can compromise neuromuscular ...

Treatment Preferences of Patients With Myasthenia Gravis: A Qualitative Study
ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims The burden of myasthenia gravis (MG) is often underestimated, and studies usually focus on the symptom burden. However, treatment‐related adverse events also contribute to patients' burdens and affect their treatment decisions.

Subtypes of muscarinic receptors regulating gallbladder cholinergic contractions
The aim of this study was to determine the functional role of muscarinic receptor subtypes regulating gallbladder cholinergic contractions. Electrical field stimulation (EFS; 16 Hz) produced contractile responses of guinea pig gallbladder muscle strips ...

Emergencies in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
ABSTRACT Emergencies are frequent in people living with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (pALS), especially as the disease progresses, and can necessitate urgent evaluation and intervention. Progressive weakness in ALS inevitably increases fall risk, making discussion of fall prevention strategies integral to caring for pALS.

Selective loss of GABAB receptors in orexin/hypocretin-producing neurons results in disrupted sleep/wakefulness architecture [PDF]
We generated mice with a selective loss of GABAB receptors in orexin neurons. Orexin neurons in these GABAB1<sup>-/-(orexin)</sup> mice showed reduced responsiveness to GABA<sub>A</sub> receptor agonists due to a ...
