Muscle-specific motor unit firing characteristics in elbow flexors and extensors after cervical spinal cord injury

Alex T. Benedetto, Sophia T. Jenz, Matthew T. Farley…·Gregory E. P. Pearcey

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.

Amr A. Mahrous, Bradley S. Heit, Charles J. Heckman

This study shows that riluzole increases motoneuron excitability in ALS mice due to hyperactive homeostasis, which counteracts the drug's intended effects.
