Intrinsic properties of lumbar motor neurones in the adult G127insTGGG superoxide dismutase‐1 mutant mouse <i>in vivo</i>: evidence for increased persistent inward currents

Abstract

We demonstrated that, in vivo, at resting membrane potential, spinal motor neurones of the adult G127X mice do not show an increased excitability. However, when depolarized they show evidence of an increased PIC and less SFA which may contribute to excitotoxicity of these neurones as the disease progresses.
