Grant Activity:
Mechanisms underlying cortical hyperexcitability in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
Purpose:
The current research grant will use novel neurophysiological tools to study brain activity in patients with motor neuron disease/amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. We anticipate that excessive brain activity, called cortical hyperexcitability, will be caused by reduction in activity of cortical inhibitory nerves, increase in activity of cortical excitatory nerves and increase in persistent sodium currents. Treatments, targeting the abnormal brain processes, are likely to be developed.
