To investigate the changes in nodal persistent Na(+) currents in human neuropathy and motor neuron disease. In human motor axons, approximately 1.0% of total Na(+) channels are active at rest, termed "persistent" Na(+) channels, and the conductance can be non-invasively estimated by the technique of latent addition in vivo.
