11. Tics must also be distinguished from fasciculations . 12. The depolarizing neuromuscular blocker succinylcholine causes fasciculations . 13. There is conflicting evidence as to whether the character of fasciculations differs neurophysiologically in MND ". 14. The two most common pathologic types of resting activity in muscle are fasciculation and fibrillation potentials. 15. People suffering from benign fasciculation syndrome can often experience myoclonic jerking of limbs, fingers and thumbs. 16. In some cases, the presence of fasciculations can be annoying and interfere with quality of life. 17. There may be atrophy ( shrinkage ) of muscles, fasciculations ( twitching ) and loss of sensation. 18. It is involved in the adhesion between neurons and in the growth and association of neurites called neurite fasciculation . 19.
