tacrine and Fasciculation

tacrine has been researched along with Fasciculation in 1 studies

Tacrine: A cholinesterase inhibitor that crosses the blood-brain barrier. Tacrine has been used to counter the effects of muscle relaxants, as a respiratory stimulant, and in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease and other central nervous system disorders.
tacrine : A member of the class of acridines that is 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroacridine substituted by an amino group at position 9. It is used in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease.

Fasciculation: Involuntary contraction of the muscle fibers innervated by a motor unit. Fasciculations may be visualized as a muscle twitch or dimpling under the skin, but usually do not generate sufficient force to move a limb. They may represent a benign condition or occur as a manifestation of MOTOR NEURON DISEASE or PERIPHERAL NERVOUS SYSTEM DISEASES. (Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p1294)

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"When mild to moderate fasciculation was evoked, donepezil and E2030 elicited more than nine yawns over 30 min, while the other cholinesterase inhibitors elicited approximately five yawns at most during this period."1.31Central and peripheral activity of cholinesterase inhibitors as revealed by yawning and fasciculation in rats.
