Abstract: The human soleus muscle is anatomically divided into four separate anatomical compartments. The functional role of this compartmentalisation remains unclear. Here, we tested the hypothesis that the common synaptic input to motor units between the… read more here.

Less common synaptic input between muscles from the same group allows for more flexible coordination strategies during a fatiguing task.

Abstract: This study aimed to determine whether neural drive is redistributed between muscles during a fatiguing isometric contraction, and if so, whether the initial level of common synaptic input between these muscles constrains this redistribution. We… read more here.
