Disruption of axonal transport would be a good target for his drug.

<h3>What is disruption of axonal transport?</h3>
  • Axonal transport defects are among the early molecular events leading to neurodegeneration in mouse models of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
  • Gene expression profiles indicate that dynactin-1 mRNA is downregulated in degenerating spinal motor neurons of autopsied patients with sporadic ALS.
  • Disruption of axonal transport also underlies the pathogenesis of spinal muscular atrophy and hereditary spastic paraplegias.
  • The neurotoxin β,β′-iminodipropionitrile (IDPN) selectively disrupts slow axonal transport without affecting fast anterograde or retrograde axonal transport.
  • Impairment of slow axonal transport causes a proximal accumulation of neurofilaments.
  • Because neurofilaments regulate axonal diameter, this accumulation leads to a marked swelling of the axon.
  • Acrylamide causes decreased axonal transport, also causing proximal accumulations of neurofilaments and swelling.

Planets are classified in yhe domain _____<br>A. archaea<br>B. bacteria <br>C. eukarya​
Gelneren [198K]

Archaea means ancient, bacteria are, well, minuscule organisms that live everywhere, and eukarya are organisms with cells that have a nucleus as well as membrane-bound organelles... my best guess if it is planets you mean, then the answer would be archaea, if it is plants, like flowers or such, then it is eukarya.

I hope this helps!

After researching the possible effects of music, Elaina proposes that if people listen to faster-paced music, their pulse rates
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

Constant variables

Explanation:

Elaina's investigation lacked the critical ingredient of constant variables which are important components of every scientific investigation. In every research, there are 3 important variables, namely:

1. Dependent variables: the actual variable to be measured during the course of investigations and whose values are dependent on another variable (independent variable) supplied by the investigators.

2. Independent variable: one of the variables that are supplied by investigators whose values are often manipulated to see the kind of changes it will cause to the dependent variable.

3. Constant variables: other variables that are neither independent nor dependent but constant for all the various experimental groups in investigations.
