Motor nerve activity - connections

-> Motor nerve activity

• Cellular potassium levels, Cellular zinc levels - Reduces (State: very low; Activity state: diminished; Population: some children or teens)

Ginkgo biloba - connections

Ginkgo biloba ->

• Affects: Elderly dementia patients (Evidence: one study)
• Associated With: Bruising (Intake: high)
• Causes: Seizures (Certainty: observed; Population: a couple of previously well-controlled patients; Onset: within two weeks after starting)
• Causes: Bleeding, Gastrointestinal discomfort, Headaches, Irritability, Restlessness, Skin rash (Certainty: potential)
• Causes: Excessive blood-thinning (Intake: high)
• Causes: Seizures (Polarity: ceased; Timing: after discontinuation)
• Improves: Cognitive performance, Social functioning (Evidence: many studies; Degree: some; Population: demented patients; Stage: early)
• Lowers: Calcium levels
• Produces Similar Effects To: Cholinesterase inhibitors (Evidence: one study; Population: elderly dementia patients)
• Prolongs Life Of: Rats (Comparison: not given ginkgo biloba)
• Treats: Poor circulation (Property: blood_thinning; Modal: may)
• Worsens: Prostate bleeding (Amount: high; Property: blood thinning; State: chronic)

Nerve cells - connections

Nerve cells ->

• Controls: Voluntary muscles
• Located In: Brain, Spinal column
• Transmits: Nerve impulses (Means: neurotransmitters)

-> Nerve cells

• Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis - Attacks (Cell type: motor neurons; Location 1: brain; Location 2: spinal column)
