The most common clinical sign (5 of 5 cats) was weakness. Additional neurologic deficits consisted of palmigrade and plantigrade posture (4\/4), low carriage of the head and tail (4\/4), and variable segmental reflex deficits (5\/5). Motor nerve conduction studies were abnormal for the ulnar (4\/4), peroneal (5\/5), and tibial (2\/2) nerves (increased latencies, reduced amplitudes, slow velocities). A marked decrement was observed on repetitive nerve stimulation of the peroneal nerve in 3 cats for which autoimmune myasthenia gravis was ruled out. All sensory nerve conduction studies were normal. Histologic evaluation of muscle and nerve biopsies supported heterogenous alterations consistent with motor polyneuropathy with distal nerve fiber loss.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions and Clinical Importance<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Heterogenous motor polyneuropathies should be considered in young cats of any breed and sex that are presented with relapsing or progressive generalized neuromuscular disease.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/jvim.12439","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,9,17]],"date-time":"2014-09-17T11:32:05Z","timestamp":1410953525000},"page":"1789-1798","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["Electrophysiologic Confirmation of Heterogenous Motor Polyneuropathy in Young Cats"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"28","author":[{"given":"M.","family":"Aleman","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Veterinary Medicine, University of California Department of Medicine and Epidemiology, , Davis, CA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"P.J.","family":"Dickinson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Veterinary Medicine, University of California Department of Surgical and Radiological Sciences, , Davis, CA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"D.C.","family":"Williams","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"William R.
