The paper examines muscle-specific changes in motor unit firing characteristics in elbow flexors and extensors after cervical spinal cord injury, finding altered rate coding in biceps brachii but not triceps brachii.

The paper investigates how neuromodulation and inhibitory patterns influence human motor unit discharge patterns across contraction forces, showing increased hysteresis and linear discharge with higher force.

This study compares motor unit discharge patterns in resistance-trained, endurance-trained, and untrained humans during contractions, finding differences in discharge rates and modulation during higher forces.

This study shows that intrinsic properties of spinal motoneurons, specifically persistent inward currents, degrade ankle torque control in humans during motor tasks.

This study develops reverse engineering techniques to identify synaptic inputs from neuron firing patterns using supercomputers, showing they can accurately reconstruct input combinations with 75-90% variance accounted for.

This study examines how voluntary co-contraction of ankle muscles affects motor unit discharge and reduces persistent inward currents (PICs) in motoneurons.

The paper quantifies sex differences in motor unit discharge rates and persistent inward current estimates in human lower limb muscles, finding higher {Delta}F in females.
