Estimation of brainstem neuronal loss in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis with in vivo proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy.

abstract：:We studied reciprocal inhibition by recording the changes in firing probability of single motor units of the tibialis anterior muscle following stimulation of low-threshold afferents in the posterior tibial nerve. In 15 patients with cerebral palsy, the inhibition was as great or greater than normal. We found no evide...

abstract：:Automatisms are commonly seen in epilepsy, either ictally or postictally. However, most automatisms are simple, with hand movements, mouth smacking, nose-rubbing, repetition of a single word, or coughing, grunting, or screeching. Complex automatisms are less common and striking. The authors report two cases of seizure...
