Mechatronic and biomechanical considerations toward the design of an ankle clonus simulator
Clonus is a rhythmic, involuntary reflex response often seen in individuals with lesions in their descending motor neurons. These lesions can be the result of spinal cord injury or diseases like multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease and cerebral palsy. During clinical evaluation of an individual …

Interactive effects of developmental PCB exposure and relevant environmental risks on the auditory system
… 105dB and then at 110dB if they did not exhibit clonus seizures at the lower noise intensities. Female rats exposed to 3 or 6 mg/kg PCBs had significantly higher incidences of AGS compared to controls. Male rats exposed to 6 mg/kg PCBs had higher incidences of AGS compared to noise-naïve (NN) …

Molecular Substrates And Neuronal Network Subserving Audiogenic Kindling In Genetically Epilepsy-Prone Rats
… EEG, and the emergence of post-tonic clonus (PTC), which are persistent features of subsequent AGS. AGS kindling results in the expansion of the requisite brainstem seizure network to recruit forebrain areas, particularly the amygdala, into the expanded network. The auditory pathway …
