A Finite Element Model for Describing the Effect of Muscle Shortening on Surface EMG [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
A finite-element model for the generation of single fiber action potentials in a muscle undergoing various degrees of fiber shortening is developed. The muscle is assumed fusiform with muscle fibers following a curvilinear path described by a Gaussian ...

An electrophysiologist’s guide to dorsal horn excitability and pain

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular Neuroscience
The dorsal horn of the spinal cord represents the first site in the central nervous system (CNS) where nociceptive signals are integrated. As a result, there has been a rapid growth in the number of studies investigating the ionic mechanisms regulating ...

Efficacy of High-Definition Transcranial Alternating Current Stimulation (HD-tACS) at the M1 Hotspot Versus C3 Site in Modulating Corticospinal Tract Excitability

open access: yesBiomedicines
Previous studies have shown that beta-band transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) applied at the M1 hotspot can modulate corticospinal excitability.

Effective action for fermions with anomalous magnetic moment from Foldy-Wouthuysen transformation

open access: yes, 2012
In this paper we calculate the effective action for neutral particles with anomalous magnetic moment in an external magnetic and electric field. We show that we can take advantage from the Foldy Wouthuysen transformation for such systems, determined in ...

Optimizing Optogenetic Activation of Purkinje Cell Axons to Investigate the Purkinje Cell – DCN Synapse

open access: yesFrontiers in Synaptic Neuroscience, 2019
Optogenetics is a state-of-the-art tool for interrogating neural circuits. In the cerebellum, Purkinje cells serve as the sole output of the cerebellar cortex where they synapse on neurons in the deep cerebellar nuclei (DCN).

The Optimal Size of Stochastic Hodgkin-Huxley Neuronal Systems for Maximal Energy Efficiency in Coding of Pulse Signals

open access: yes, 2013
The generation and conduction of action potentials represents a fundamental means of communication in the nervous system, and is a metabolically expensive process.

Correlation of action potentials in adjacent neurons

open access: yes, 2015
A possible mechanism for the synchronization of action potential propagation along a bundle of neurons (ephaptic coupling) is considered. It is shown that this mechanism is similar to the salutatory conduction of the action potential between the nodes of

Analogue modulation of back-propagating action potentials enables dendritic hybrid signalling

open access: yesNature Communications, 2016
‘Analogue’ modulation by somatic membrane potentials can modify ‘digital’ axonal action potentials. Here, the authors show that analogue modulation can occur in back-propagating dendritic action potentials and calcium signals, leading to signal ...

Hippocampal synaptic markers and cognitive recovery in spinal cord injury: the therapeutic potential of neural stem cell-laden carbon nanotube-based fiber scaffolds with liposomal hesperidin

open access: yesResearch in Pharmaceutical Sciences
Background and purpose: Spinal cord injury (SCI) causes motor and cognitive impairments, with secondary hippocampal damage contributing to memory deficits.
