Although familiar to each of us, the sensation of inhabiting a body is ineffable. Traditional
senses like vision and hearing monitor the external environment, allowing humans to have …

From ancient Greece to nowadays, research on posture control was guided and shaped by
many concepts. Equilibrium control is often considered part of postural control. However, two …

Spinal cord injuries alter motor function by disconnecting neural circuits above and below
the lesion, rendering sensory inputs a primary source of direct external drive to neuronal …

This review addresses the effects of fatiguing general muscular exercise (involving the
whole body) and fatiguing local muscular exercise (involving a particular muscular group) …

When animals walk overground, mechanical stimuli activate various receptors located in
muscles, joints and skin. Afferents from these mechanoreceptors project to neuronal …

Animals generate movement by engaging spinal circuits that direct precise sequences of
muscle contraction, but the identity and organizational logic of local interneurons that lie at …

The exteroceptive somatosensory system is important for reflexive and adaptive behaviors
and for the dynamic control of movement in response to external stimuli. This review outlines …

OBJECTIVES: This review aims to define the concept of neuromuscular fatigue and to
present the current knowledge of the central and peripheral factors at the origin of this …

Mammalian motor behavior is enabled by a hierarchy of interleaved circuit modules
constructed by interneurons in the spinal cord, sensory feedback loops, and bilateral …

The precision of skilled movement depends on sensory feedback and its refinement by local
inhibitory microcircuits. One specialized set of spinal GABAergic interneurons forms axo …
