DOI: 10.1002/ana.26319
Abstract: Axonal excitability reflects ion channel function, and it is proposed that this may be a biomarker in painful (vs painless) polyneuropathy. Our objective was to investigate the relationship between axonal excitability parameters and chronic neuropathic… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/glia.24106
Abstract: Astroglial excitatory amino acid transporter 2 (EAAT2, GLT‐1, and SLC1A2) regulates the duration and extent of neuronal excitation by removing glutamate from the synaptic cleft. Hence, an impairment in EAAT2 function could lead to an… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/mds.27479
Abstract: Background: Tics can be voluntarily inhibited. However, the neurophysiology of voluntary tic inhibition remains underexplored. The objective of this study was to explore state‐dependent effects of voluntary tic inhibition on M1 excitability. read more here.
