Research Abstract

We studied the changes of motor nerve axonal excitabilty properties in motor neuron diseases such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy (SBMA), and we reported the results of the studies as the published articles.
We analyzed the effects of the changes of motor nerve axonal excitability properties in ALS on the disease prognosis, and we found that motor axonal excitability properties were strong predictors for survival in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis: especially, we clarified that axonal persistent sodium currents, estimated by SDTC and latent addition, are strong and independent predictors for shorter survival in patients with ALS. We reported the results as the publised article in Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery, and Psychiatry (J Neurol Neurosurg Psychiatry. 2012;83:734-8.).
