Ageing is a natural process causing alterations in the neuromuscular system, which
contributes to reduced quality of life. Motor unit (MU) contributes to weakness, but the …

A well‐coordinated facilitation–inhibition control of motor neuronal persistent inward
currents (PICs) via diffuse neuromodulation and local inhibition is essential to ensure motor …

Nervous system deterioration is a primary driver of age‐related motor impairment. The motor
neurones, which act as the interface between the central nervous system and the muscles …

Age-related deterioration within both motoneuron and monoaminergic systems should
theoretically reduce neuromodulation by weakening motoneuronal persistent inward current …

Persistent inward currents (PICs) are responsible for amplifying motoneuronal synaptic
inputs and contribute to generating normal motoneuron activation. Delta-F (ΔF) is a well …

Persistent inward currents (PICs) are crucial for initiation, acceleration, and maintenance of
motoneuron firing. As PICs are highly sensitive to synaptic inhibition and facilitated by …

This study investigated the effects of high-intensity resistance training on estimates of the
motor neuron persistent inward current (PIC) in older adults. Seventeen participants …

Noninvasive recordings of motor unit (MU) spike trains help us understand how the nervous
system controls movement and how it adapts to various physiological conditions. The …

Key points Motor neurons are the output neurons of the central nervous system and are
responsible for controlling muscle contraction. When initially activated during voluntary …

Persistent inward current (PIC) plays an important role in setting the input-output gain of
motoneurons. In humans, these currents are estimated by calculating the difference between …
