Chronic resistance and endurance training alters the way in which motor unit discharge rates are modulated across contraction intensities, suggesting alterations in net excitatory synaptic input - another fun collaboration with @jskarabot.bsky.social and colleagues. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

New pub from Drew in CJ’s lab. We showed prolonged firing of motoneurons makes it hard to control force, estimates of PICs are larger at short muscle lengths, and combining the two exacerbates this prolongation of firing-induced force variability. physoc.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

💥 Preprint update 💥 Based on feedback from reviewers, we have updated our work that aims to understand gain control in force output. In addition to human motor unit data, we’ve used in silico models of motoneuron firing patterns in an attempt to understand how we scale force output {1/2}
biorxiv.org
Human motor unit discharge patterns reveal differences in neuromodulatory and inhibitory drive to motoneurons across contraction levels
All motor commands converge onto motor units (MUs), which transduce the signals into mechanical actions of muscle fibres. This process is highly non-linear due to combinations of ionotropic (excitator...
