horn cell

There is further integration in the anterior horn cells of the spinal cord.

She was diagnosed with anterior horn cell demyelitis and died on September 22 1974, at the age of 45.

The evidence for anterior horn cell involvement comes from radiological and electromyographical studies.

The fatal childhood disorder is associated with loss of anterior horn cells and infantile death.

Anterior horn cells, motoneurons located in the spinal cord.

It found that an average of 75 percent of the lateral horn cells were lost in people with progressive autonomic failure.

This is seen in anterior (ventral) horn cells or certain cranial nerve nuclei.

Acanthocytes should also be distinguished from keratocytes, also called 'horn cells' which have a few very large protuberances.

Lethal arthrogryposis with anterior horn cell disease

The hyperexcitable corticomotoneurons drive anterior horn cells into metabolic deficit, resulting in cell degeneration and death.

In addition to an abnormally small cerebellum and brainstem including the pons, there is a degeneration of the anterior horn cells.

Whereas the extrapyramidal system centers around the modulation and regulation through indirect control of anterior (ventral) horn cells.

The syndrome appears to involve the spinal cord: specifically, the anterior horn cells subserving the affected muscles are often damaged.

Nuclei of cranial nerves, arcuate nuclei, and posterior horn cells were also affected.

In amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Onuf's nucleus is preserved but the other anterior horn cell groups atrophy.

If this exocitotoxic process occurs rapidly, it results in a more rapid death of anterior horn cells resulting in lower motor neuron disease.

Because of the anterior horn cell involvement, PCH type 1 has some resemblance to infantile spinal muscular atrophy.

Neuronal loss is marked in the basal ganglia and thalamus without any anterior horn cell involvement when autopsy is done.

Their cell bodies are in the ventral horn of the spinal cord and they are sometimes called ventral horn cells.

Because a different population of anterior horn cells is stimulated with each stimulation, each F wave have a slightly different shape, amplitude and latency.

nonreactive degeneration of anterior horn cells

In addition cortico spinal tract lesions do not cause anterograde transneuronal degeneration of spinal anterior horn cells.

The hypoplasia of the pons and cerebellum and spinal anterior horn cell degeneration is also associated with pronounced reactive changes (gliosis).

It is believed that the neuropathic form of AMC involves a deterioration in the anterior horn cell leading to muscle weakness and fibrosis.

In one case, a biopsy of an affected muscle "revealed scattered atrophic fibers, indicating lesions in the anterior horn cells of the spinal cord".
