DOI: 10.1007/s00221-020-05870-3
Abstract: Action observation (AO) and motor imagery (MI) are potential methods to improve various motor functions. AO and MI facilitate corticospinal excitability. Additionally, the combination of AO and MI (AO + MI) facilitates greater corticospinal excitability than AO… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fphys.2022.994857
Abstract: The adaptation of neural contractile properties has been observed in previous work. However, the neural changes on the motor unit (MU) level remain largely unknown. Voluntary movements are controlled through the precise activation of MU… read more here.

DOI: 10.7150/thno.29755
Abstract: Motor neuron diversification and regionalization are important hallmarks of spinal cord development and rely on fine spatiotemporal release of molecular cues. Here, we present a dedicated platform to engineer complex molecular profiles for directed neuronal… read more here.
