The question of how the central nervous system coordinates redundant muscles has been a
long-standing problem in motor neuroscience. The optimization hypothesis posits that the …

Grasping is a highly complex movement that requires the coordination of multiple hand joints
and muscles. Muscle synergies have been proposed to be the functional building blocks …

Unlike upper limb muscles, it remains undocumented as to how motor units in the soleus
muscle are organised in terms of recruitment range and discharge rates with respect to their …

Studying the responsiveness of specific central nervous system pathways to electrical or
magnetic stimulation can provide important information regarding fatigue processes in the …

The Fugl-Meyer Assessment is widely used to test motor function in stroke survivors. In the
Fugl-Meyer Assessment, stroke survivors perform several movement tasks and clinicians …

This study investigated corticospinal-evoked responses in lower limb muscles during voluntary
contractions at varying strengths. Similar investigations have been made on upper limb …

This important paper reports major technical advances for in vivo intramuscular electrical
recording from multiple motor units in behaving animals. The paper includes compelling …

Volitional limb motor control involves dynamic and static muscle actions. It remains elusive
how such distinct actions are controlled through separated or shared neural circuits. Here we …

The purpose of this study was to elucidate the responses of the mechanomyogram (MMG)
from two apparently different muscles (biceps brachii and soleus) during a sustained voluntary …

Primate hands house an array of mechanoreceptors and proprioceptors, which are essential
for tactile and kinematic information crucial for daily motor action. While the regulation of …
