| Research Abstract |
We estimated simultaneously the changes of motor axonal excitability properties and nodal/paranodal ion channel expressions of Na+ and K+ channels in the process of the Wallerian degeneration and regeneration in mice model, and reported the association among them. We also studied the nerve excitability changes in the motor neuron diseases and its associations with the disease pathophysiology, and studied the pathophysiological roles of channelopathy in some neurological disorders. The results were presented in some symposiums and conferences, and were published in some papers.
