Definitions
Defasciculation
The separation of axons from a fascicle.
Fasciculation
A fasciculation, or muscle twitch, is a spontaneous, involuntary muscle contraction and relaxation, involving fine muscle fibers. They are common, with as many as 70% of people experiencing them.
Defasciculation
The prevention of muscular twitches.
Fasciculation
A form of involuntary muscular contraction that is more intense than fibrillation, consisting of simultaneous twitching of adjacent groups of muscle fibers.
Fasciculation
An arrangement of fasciculi.

Fasciculation
An involuntary muscle twitch, usually localised and temporary, but that may be intensified and prolonged fatally by particular poisons and venoms such as acetylcholinesterase inhibitors.
Fasciculation
A cluster of fascicules.
Fasciculation
Muscular twitching of contiguous groups of muscle fibers
