A1 - Prasad, Sashank Y1 - 2019 N1 - T2 - Adams and Victor's Principles of Neurology, 11e AB - These disorders are discussed together because they cause weakness or changes in salience of the musculature but are not strictly speaking disease of muscle, instead having their origins in problems with the terminal motor axons or neuromuscular junction, the ends of the line in motor transmission, so to speak. Their pathophysiology and clinical features sometimes overlap with immune mechanisms that underlie a number of them. In most ways, however, they stand apart from each other but are most efficiently described together here.
