Abstract The aim of this study was to explore the primary afferent depolarization mechanism, to determine whether the soleus transspinal evoked potential (TEP), elicited through transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation over the L1–L2 level, is modulated by presynaptic inhibition and heteronymous facilitation, similar to the Hoffmann (H) reflex, elicited ...

Electrical stimulation of injured nerves promotes recovery in animals and humans
Abstract figure legend Poor functional recovery after surgical repair is frequently disappointing. In an experimental rat model, we found that by isolating the effects of prolonged motoneurone isolation from targets (prolonged axotomy), reduced regenerative capacity and prolonged isograft denervation, and muscle denervation each reduced regeneration ...

Abstract figure legend Previous work in humans and rodents has identified transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation as a promising strategy to reduce spasticity and hyperreflexia after spinal cord injury. The objective of this study was to deliver stimulation protocols with the intensity set (1) above motor threshold, (2) below motor threshold or (3 ...

Robust coupling between the C‐tactile afferent and the hair follicle in humans
Abstract figure legend A single hair was carefully deflected using forceps during microneurography, which facilitates direct recording of single nerve fibre responses in awake participants. Recordings from 15 consecutive C‐tactile (CT) afferents, where the response to hair deflection was investigated, showed that individual CT afferents respond to ...

Abstract figure legend We focused on the phenomenon of stochastic resonance and investigated the effects of transcutaneous spinal random noise stimulation (tsRNS) at the cervical spine level on motor skill learning and motor memory retention in healthy humans.

Abstract figure legend This figure summarises the study of neuromuscular junction (NMJ) changes in 10 older males following a 10 day bed rest period. Baseline (BR0) and post‐bed rest (BR10) assessments were conducted using intramuscular EMG (iEMG) to measure NMJ transmission. At BR0 and BR10, muscle biopsies were obtained to analyse NMJ morphology, and
