Evidence that the cortical motor command for the initiation of dynamic plantarflexion consists of excitation followed by inhibition. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 At the onset of dynamic movements excitation of the motor cortex (M1) is spatially restricted to areas representing the involved muscles whereas adjacent areas are inhibited.

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2016 Both active and passive rhythmic limb movements reduce the amplitude of spinal cord Hoffmann (H-) reflexes in muscles of moving and distant limbs. This could have clinical utility in remote modulation of the pathologically hyperactive reflexes found in ...

Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness and Critical Neural Microdamage-Derived Neuroinflammation
Biomolecules, 2022 Piezo2 transmembrane excitatory mechanosensitive ion channels were identified as the principal mechanotransduction channels for proprioception. Recently, it was postulated that Piezo2 channels could be acutely microdamaged on an autologous basis at ...

Sensor-Motor Maps for Describing Linear Reflex Composition in Hopping
Frontiers in Computational Neuroscience, 2017 In human and animal motor control several sensory organs contribute to a network of sensory pathways modulating the motion depending on the task and the phase of execution to generate daily motor tasks such as locomotion.

A Novel Approach using Tendon Vibration to study Spinal Reflexes [PDF]
, 2008 Although most muscle spindle investigations have used the cat model and mvasiVe surgical measurement techniques, several investigators have used microneurography to record from the Ia and II fibres in humans during tendon vibration.

Optimizing assessment of low frequency H-reflex depression in persons with spinal cord injury.
PLoS ONEConsidering the growing interest in clinical applications of neuromodulation, assessing effects of various modulatory approaches is increasingly important. Monosynaptic spinal reflexes undergo depression following repeated activation, offering a means to

Generating intrafusal skeletal muscle fibres : Current state of the art and future challenges
Journal of Tissue Engineering, 2020 Intrafusal fibres are a specialised cell population in skeletal muscle, found within the muscle spindle. These fibres have a mechano-sensory capacity, forming part of the monosynaptic stretch-reflex arc, a key component responsible for proprioceptive ...

A Single Aplysia Neurotrophin Mediates Synaptic Facilitation via Differentially Processed Isoforms
Cell Reports, 2013 Neurotrophins control the development and adult plasticity of the vertebrate nervous system. Failure to identify invertebrate neurotrophin orthologs, however, has precluded studies in invertebrate models, limiting our understanding of fundamental aspects
