Mutual oligosynaptic inhibition of group Ia afferents between the anterior and posterior parts of the deltoid in humans
The anterior (DA) and posterior parts of the deltoid (DP) show alternating contraction during shoulder flexion and extension movements. It is...

Monosynaptic facilitation mediated by group Ia afferents from deltoid to biceps brachii motoneurons in humans
Effects of low-threshold afferents from the anterior (DA), middle (DM) and posterior parts of the deltoid (DP) on the excitability of biceps brachii...

Quadriceps muscle stimulation evokes heteronymous inhibition onto soleus with limited Ia activation compared to femoral nerve stimulation
Heteronymous excitatory feedback from muscle spindles and inhibitory feedback from Golgi tendon organs and recurrent inhibitory circuits can...

Revisiting the use of Hoffmann reflex in motor control research on humans
Research in movement science aims at unravelling mechanisms and designing methods for restoring and maximizing human functional capacity, and many...

Proprioceptive afferents differentially contribute to effortful perception of object heaviness and length
When humans handle a tool, such as a tennis racket or hammer, for the first time, they often wield it to determine its inertial properties. The...

Evidence of two modes of spiking evoked in human firing motoneurones by Ia afferent electrical stimulation
Neurone firing behaviour is a result of complex interaction between synaptic inputs and cellular intrinsic properties. Intriguing firing behaviour,...

Regulation of primary afferent depolarization and homosynaptic post-activation depression during passive and active lengthening, shortening and isometric conditions
PurposeThis study aimed to determine whether the modulation of primary afferent depolarization (PAD) and homosynaptic post-activation depression...

Activation of α-adrenoceptors depresses synaptic transmission of myelinated afferents and inhibits pathways mediating primary afferent depolarization (PAD) in the in vitro mouse spinal cord
Somatosensory afferent transmission strength is controlled by several presynaptic mechanisms that reduce transmitter release at the spinal cord...

Microneurography: Recordings from Single Neurons in Human Peripheral Nerves
Over the last 50 years, the technique of microneurography has provided us with valuable insights into activity in human nerves. Microneurography...

Single-Unit Electrophysiological Recordings of Primary Muscle Sensory Neurons Using a Novel Ex Vivo Preparation
For decades, multiple electrophysiological techniques have been used to characterize the responses of primary afferents to a variety of stimuli under...

Discrete field potentials produced by coherent activation of spinal dorsal horn neurons
In addition to the action potentials generated by the ongoing activation of single dorsal horn neurons in the anesthetized cat, we often recorded...

Muscle Tendon Vibration: A Method for Estimating Kinesthetic Perception
Perception of self-body movements (i.e., kinesthesia) relies on muscle proprioception. Moving our body segments activates proprioceptors, especially...

Locomotion: Circuits and Physiology
Locomotion is a complex motor behavior needed by animals and humans to move through the environment. All forms of locomotion, including swimming,...

Fatigue, pain, and the recovery of neuromuscular function after consecutive days of full-body resistance exercise in trained men
PurposeThis study measured the self-reported level of fatigue, pain, and neuromuscular function of the knee extensor muscles over a three-day period...

Sensory enhancement of warm-up amplifies subsequent grip strength and cycling performance
PurposeIn sport and exercise, warm-ups induce various physiological changes that facilitate subsequent performance. We have shown that delivering...

Testing spasticity mechanisms in chronic stroke before and after intervention with contralesional motor cortex 1 Hz rTMS and physiotherapy
BackgroundPrevious studies showed that repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) reduces spasticity after stroke. However, clinical...

Comparison of acute responses in spinal excitability between older and young people after neuromuscular electrical stimulation
PurposeThis study aims at comparing acute responses in spinal excitability, as measured by H-reflex, between older and young individuals, following a...

GABA facilitates spike propagation through branch points of sensory axons in the spinal cord
Movement and posture depend on sensory feedback that is regulated by specialized GABAergic neurons (GAD2 + ) that form axo-axonic contacts onto...
