Is excitation-contraction coupling impaired in myasthenia gravis?
In MG, E-C coupling appears to be impaired, particularly in patients with thymoma, and FK506 possibly facilitates E-C coupling.
These findings are in line with predictions made on the basis of dual-process models. They provide further evidence that individual differences in neural baseline activation in the right lateral PFC may contribute to executive functioning abilities such as inhibitory control. Moreover, individuals with strongly positive implicit alcohol attitudes coupled with a low baseline activation in the right lateral PFC may be at greater risk of developing unhealthy drinking patterns than others.
