With the increasing use of Botulinum toxin in the treatment of various neuromuscular disorders, it is very important that all who are involved be kept up with the latest developments and indications for the use of the toxin. The current literature reflects the potential uses of the toxin but at the same time discrepancies in the dosage of the toxin, and measurement of toxin activity are arising. In addition, basic scientists interested in the toxin for its elegant role as a molecular tool. 3, record 1, English, - Botulinum%20neurotoxin

Les neurotoxines tétaniques (TeTN) et botuliques (BoNT) sont responsables de deux maladies sévères : le tétanos et le botulisme. Le TnNT bloque la libération de GABA [acide 4-aminobutanoïque] et de glycine dans le système nerveux central alors que les BoNT agissent en périphérie en inhibant la libération d'acétylcholine. 1, record 1, French, - neurotoxine%20botulique

La neurotoxina del tétanos [...] actúa principalmente en el sistema nervioso central, mientras que la neurotoxina del botulismo [...] actúa en la unión neuromuscular inhibiendo la liberación de acetilcolina del axón de la neurona afectada hacia la sinapsis, dando como resultado una parálisis fláccida localizada. 2, record 1, Spanish, - neurotoxina%20botul%C3%ADnica

Hebbian synapse: Hebb proposed that a successful synapse is strenghened: "When an axon of cell A is near enough [the synaptic cleft hadn't yet been seen in 1949] to excite cell B and repeatedly or persistently takes part in firing it, some growth process or metabolic change takes place in one or both cells such that A's efficiency, as one of the cells firing B, is increased. 1, record 4, English, - Hebbian%20synapse
