Associations between myasthenia gravis (MG) and CNS functions have been made for over 80 years. An increased incidence of psychiatric disorders, epilepsy and multiple sclerosis as well as electroencephalographic (EEG) abnormalities and abnormal evoked responses have been noted in patients with MG. Descriptions of sleep and memory disturbances in MG patients appeared as knowledge accumulated about the role of brain cholinergic systems in sleep and memory.

Twenty-four drug-free patients with a DSM-III diagnosis of panic disorders (and their age- and sex-matched normal controls) slept in the laboratory for 3 consecutive nights. Panic patients showed a slightly longer sleep latency and a lower sleep efficiency than their normal controls. They also had more overall movement time and more body movements during stage 2 sleep.

Developmental milestones, problems with bladder and bowel control, sleep disturbances, allergies, and handedness were compared in 247 consecutive Tourette syndrome (TS) patients, 17 patients with attention-deficit disorder (ADD), 15 patients with ADD secondary to TS (ADD 2(0) TS), and 47 random controls. There were no significant differences in age of first talking or walking. By contrast, there were significant differences in problems with bladder and bowel control between TS patients and controls, as measured by age of first toilet training, age of last bed-wetting, frequency of enuresis, and age that bowel control was achieved.
