Abstract:
Albeit primarily a disease of respiratory tract, the 2019 coronavirus infectious disease (COVID-19) has been found to have causal association with a plethora of neurological and neuropsychological effects. However, the pathogenesis of COVID-19-induced neurological manifestations is still in its infancy. Autonomic dysfunction preceding acute motor axonal neuropathy (AMAN) has not been yet associated with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. We herein report one patient who developed acute onset dysautonomia heralding AMAN during SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Chemical Synapses
Because chemical synapses depend on the release of neurotransmitter molecules from synaptic vesicles to pass on their signal, there is an approximately one millisecond delay between when the axon potential reaches the presynaptic terminal and when the neurotransmitter leads to opening of postsynaptic ion channels. Additionally, this signaling is...
