Specifi c Culomotor Disturbance in a Patient With Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
A 67-year-old male patient was admitted to the hospital for pneumonia and respiratory insuffi ciency. Neurological examination showed lower and upper motor system involvement. One year and eight months after the initiation of artifi cial ventilation, he presented specifi c oculomotor disturbances.

متن کاملIncreased Orexin Expression Promotes Sleep/Wake Disturbances in the SOD1-G93A Mouse Model of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
BACKGROUND Sleep/wake disturbances in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) are well-documented, however, no animal or mechanistic studies on these disturbances exist. Orexin is a crucial neurotransmitter in promoting wakefulness in sleep/wake regulation, and may play an important role in sleep disturbances in ALS. In this study, we used SOD1-G93A transgenic mice as an ALS mouse mod...

متن کاملThe septum modulates REM sleep-related penile erections in rats
Rapid eye movement sleep in males is characterized by penile erection along with EEG desynchronization, muscle atonia, ponto-geniculo-occipital waves, and rapid eye movements (REM). The central neural mechanisms regulating sleep related erections (SREs) are not known. Recently, the lateral preoptic area has been shown to contribute in sleep-related erectile mechanisms. The present study was con...
