The natural product MGN-3 (Biobran) is a defatted, partially hydrolysed rice bran-derived hemicellulose enzymatically modified with an extract of . It has a high proportion of arabinoxylan. It has a protective action against intracerebroventricular streptozotocin-induced murine sporadic Alzheimer's disease and reverses spatial memory deficit in this disease model.

Hibernation, as behavior, is an evolutionary mode of adaptation of animal species to unfavorable environmental conditions. It is generally characterized by suppressed metabolism, which also includes down regulation of the energy consuming ion-channel functioning. Experimental data regarding decreased ion-channel function are scarce.

A high reactivity of bulbar respiratory neurons on stimulation is established in both studied limbic structures. There is established the qualitatively different character of their response reactions at stimulation of the cortical amygdala nucleus and the periamygdalar cortex.

Definite differences were found in BIA by regularity, dynamic types and modality of interimpulse histograms. Mean frequency of MIT neuron discharges was 16-17 Hz and was about 3 times higher than in neurons of the IGB.

Congenital Myasthenic Syndromes (CMS) are a heterogeneous group of diseases caused by genetic defects affecting neuromuscular transmission. The twenty five past Years saw major advances in identifying different types of CMS due to abnormal presynaptic, synaptic, and postsynaptic proteins. CMS diagnosis requires two steps: 1) positive diagnosis supported by myasthenic signs beginning in neonatal period, efficacy of anticholinesterase medications, positive family history, negative tests for anti-acetylcholine receptor (AChR) antibodies, electromyographic studies (decremental response at low frequency, repetitive CMAP after one single stimulation); 2) pathophysiological characterisation of CMS implying specific studies: light and electron microscopic analysis of endplate (EP) morphology, estimation of the number of AChR per EP, acetylcholinesterase (AChE) expression, molecular genetic analysis.
