Low‐threshold cutaneous mechanoreceptors on the foot sole have enhanced sensitivity when skin temperature is elevated

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Schematic illustration of microneurography recordings used to examine the effects of local skin heating on cutaneous mechanoreceptor responses in the human foot (left panel). A microelectrode inserted into a peripheral nerve records single‐unit activity from tactile afferent fibres while controlled mechanical stimuli are applied ...

Beyond Directions: Symmetry‐Aware Rotation Sets for Triaxial Diffusion Encoding by Geometric Filter Optimization

open access: yesMagnetic Resonance in Medicine, Volume 96, Issue 5, Page 2489-2504, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Purpose To improve the accuracy of diffusion‐weighted powder average signals for diffusion encoding with arbitrary b‐tensors. Methods We identify an intrinsic dihedral (D2) symmetry of diffusion signals for arbitrary diffusion encoding, which defines their natural signal space (a quotient of 3D rotations). Based on this, we propose a method to

Neuroanatomical diversity in Teleocichla with new volumetric and histological insights into the encephalon of Teleocichla monogramma Kullander 1988

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 10, Page 2897-2912, October 2026.
Abstract Teleocichla comprises small cichlids that inhabit the rapid streams of Amazonian rivers; however, there has been limited research on their encephalon morphology. This study examined the neuroanatomy of four species, focusing on volumetric measurements of their encephalon subregions, and providing a histological description of the encephalon of

Effects of Maximal Concentric Contractions on Myotendinous Mechanical Properties in Prepubertal Boys

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Sport Science, Volume 26, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT This study aimed to compare the effects of a fatiguing concentric exercise on the myotendinous mechanical properties of the knee extensors between men and prepubertal boys. Ten prepubertal boys and 10 men performed a fatiguing exercise consisting of five sets of 20 maximal isokinetic concentric knee extensor contractions.

DTI‐ALPS as a Biomarker of Small Vessel Disease Progression and Amyloid‐β in Normal Aging: A 3‐Year Longitudinal Study

open access: yesHuman Brain Mapping, Volume 47, Issue 14, October 1, 2026.
A higher DTI‐derived ALPS index relates cross‐sectionally to both quantitative and visual measures of SVD and is associated with short‐term amyloid‐β accumulation in cognitively normal older adults. Also, greater amyloid burden and choroid plexus volume are associated with a more rapid deterioration in global cognition and processing speed.

Multiparametric Quantitative MRI of Peripheral Nerves to Differentiate Demyelinating From Axonal Polyneuropathies

open access: yesJournal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Volume 64, Issue 4, Page 1077-1088, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Differentiating demyelinating from axonal polyneuropathies helps for accurate diagnosis and treatment. However, the current clinical tools lack sensitivity to confirm demyelination in peripheral nerves, particularly for proximal nerves.

Innovative Dose–Response Assessment of the Metaboreflex With Indirect Control of Intramuscular Metabolic Perturbation in Humans

open access: yesActa Physiologica, Volume 242, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim We aimed to evaluate an innovative dose–response approach to assess the metaboreflex with control of intramuscular metabolic perturbation (concept of metaboreflex gain). We also investigated potential sex differences in the metaboreflex using this new approach.

Hoffmann's two‐toed sloth II: Muscle architectural properties in the thoracic limb of Choloepus (Pilosa: Xenarthra)

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, Volume 249, Issue 4, Page 737-758, October 2026.
Two‐toed sloths use their thoracic limbs for more frequent and greater suspensory support than three‐toed sloths and have muscle architectural properties consistent with stability of the pectoral girdle, enhanced flexor force/torque applied at the shoulder and elbow joints, and grip on the support as indicated by their myology. Abstract Two‐toed sloths
