Examples of a motoneuronal dysfunction or disorder include obstructive sleep apnea, snoring, multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injury, e.g., crush, partial or complete transection, motor neuron diseases, motor weakness due to aging, stroke, tumor, hemorrhage, degenerative or wasting diseases, and spasticity. One example of an AMPA receptor modulator is a benzothiadiazide compound. Another example of an AMPA receptor modulator is an ampakine. Yet another example of an AMPA receptor modulator is aniracetam.
