This study examines how menstrual cycle-related sex hormone fluctuations affect motor unit discharge properties, finding small but detectable effects on discharge rates and patterns.

The paper examines how arm locomotor activity affects motor unit discharge characteristics in the stationary leg during submaximal contractions.

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 examines how ischaemic nerve block reducing Ia afferent input affects motor unit discharge characteristics and persistent inward currents in the tibialis anterior muscle.

This study shows that antagonist muscle vibration reduces torque and motor unit firing rates during force reproduction, suggesting a role for persistent inward currents in proprioceptive force sensing.

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 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.
