Neuromuscular Basis of Kinematic Adaptations During Bidirectional Walking

This study examines muscle activation patterns during bidirectional walking and finds that while rhythm generation remains stable, pattern formation changes with adaptive adjustments in activation timing and amplitude.

Soleus H-reflex size versus stimulation rate in the presence of background muscle activity: A methodological study

This study investigates the effect of higher stimulation rates on H-reflex size during conditioning, finding no rate-dependent depression and reliable reflex values at 2 Hz.

Soleus H-Reflex Up-Conditioning during Sciatic Nerve Regeneration in Rats Improves Recovery of Locomotion

This study shows that H-reflex up-conditioning during sciatic nerve regeneration in rats improves H-reflex recovery and locomotor symmetry, while down-conditioning has no negative effect.

Bidirectional locomotion induces unilateral limb adaptations

This study investigates whether bidirectional walking on a split-belt treadmill induces short-term gait adaptations, finding unilateral aftereffects in step length.

Experimental Stroke Induces Chronic Gut Dysbiosis and Neuroinflammation in Male Mice

This study shows that experimental stroke in male mice leads to chronic gut dysbiosis and neuroinflammation lasting up to one month.
