A Computational Model of Motor Neuron Degeneration
To explore the link between bioenergetics and motor neuron degeneration, we used a computational model in which detailed morphology and ion conductance are paired with intracellular ATP production and consumption. We found that reduced ATP availability increases the metabolic cost of a single action potential and disrupts K+/Na+ homeostasis, resulting in a chronic depolarization. The magnitude ...
متن کاملRetinal degeneration in motor neuron degeneration: a mouse model of ceroid lipofuscinosis.
PURPOSE To evaluate the retinal degeneration of the motor neuron degeneration (mnd) mouse, and to confirm its inheritance pattern and gene location. METHODS In screening the mnd/mnd mouse for ocular disease, a retinal degeneration was found that was evaluated by serial electroretinography, histology, electron microscopy, indirect ophthalmoscopy, and genetic and linkage analysis. RESULTS In ...
متن کاملCorticospinal tract degeneration in motor neuron disease.
Long-repetition-time spin-echo MR images showed symmetric hyperintensity of the intracerebral corticospinal tracts in two patients with clinical and neurophysiologic diagnosis of primary lateral sclerosis and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. In both, axial low-flip-angle gradient-echo images of the cervical spine showed hyperintensity of the lateral columns of the cord consistent with antegrade d...

متن کاملFUScinating insights into motor neuron degeneration.
Point mutations in FUS cause amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a devastating neurodegenerative disease—but do they do that by a loss of the protein’s normal function, or by endowing it with novel toxic functions, or both? In this issue of The EMBO Journal, Scekic-Zahirovic et al (2016) report that mutant FUS, but not the complete loss of FUS, triggers motor neuron degeneration in mice, argui...
