EMG responses in lower leg muscles elicited by head-taps.
Forehead-taps elicited short-latency motor responses in the lower leg muscle which, together with vestibulocollic reflexes, might contribute to multisensory control of posture. We tested this paradigm in human subjects standing upright in order to determine if the responses differed depending on whether the taps were to the forehead or temporal bone. Forehead-taps elicited short-latency inhibit...
متن کاملFunctional variation of neck muscles and their relation to feeding style in Tyrannosauridae and other large theropod dinosaurs.
Reconstructed neck muscles of large theropod dinosaurs suggest influences on feeding style that paralleled variation in skull mechanics. In all examined theropods, the head dorsiflexor m. transversospinalis capitis probably filled in the posterior dorsal concavity of the neck, for a more crocodilian- than avian-like profile in this region. The tyrannosaurine tyrannosaurids Daspletosaurus and Ty...
متن کاملDoes Biosynthetic Silver Nanoparticles Are More Stable With Lower Toxicity than Their Synthetic Counterparts?
Control of size and shape is a challenge in nanoparticle synthesis. Synthetic and biosynthetic (both extracellular and intracellular) methods are used to prepare silver nanoparticle (SNP). In this study, the behavior of three strains of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) was investigated in the presence of silver nitrate intra- and extracellularly. S. aureus strains biosynthesized SNPs intracell...

متن کاملMuscles do more positive than negative work in human locomotion.
Muscle work during level walking and ascent and descent ramp and stairway walking was assessed in order to explore the proposition that muscles perform more positive than negative work during these locomotion tasks. Thirty four healthy human adults were tested while maintaining a constant average walking velocity in the five gait conditions. Ground reaction force and sagittal plane kinematic da...
