The initial increases in force production with resistance training are thought to be primarily
underpinned by neural adaptations. This notion is firmly supported by evidence displaying …

The central nervous system (CNS) may produce coordinated motor outputs via the
combination of motor modules representable as muscle synergies. Identification of muscle …

Movement is accomplished by the controlled activation of motor unit populations. Our
understanding of motor unit physiology has been derived from experimental work on the …

All movements are generated by the activation of motoneurons, and hence their input-output
properties define the final step in processing of all motor commands. A major challenge to …

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 …

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 …

The excitability of spinal motoneurons is both fundamental for motor behavior and essential
in diagnosis of neural disorders. There are two mechanisms for altering this excitability. The …

Motoneurons are unique in being the only neurons in the CNS whose firing patterns can be
easily recorded in human subjects. This is because of the one-to-one relationship between …

Motor units, which comprise a motoneuron and the set of muscle fibers it innervates, are the
fundamental neuromuscular transducers for all motor commands. The one to one …

Motoneurons provide the only conduit for motor commands to reach muscles. For many
years, motoneurons were in fact considered to be little more than passive “wires”. Systematic …
