Autoantibodies to neurotransmitter receptors and ion channels: from neuromuscular to neuropsychiatric disorders

Autoantibodies to neurotransmitter receptors and ion channels: from neuromuscular to neuropsychiatric disorders

Changes of voltage-gated ion channels and ligand-gated receptor channels caused by mutation or autoimmune attack are the cause of so-called channelopathies in the central and peripheral nervous system. We present the pathophysiology of channelopathies of the neuromuscular junction in terms of loss-o...
