Muscle coordination is habitual rather than optimal.
When sharing load among multiple muscles, humans appear to select an optimal pattern of activation that minimizes costs such as the effort or variability of movement. How the nervous system achieves this behavior, however, is unknown. Here we show that contrary to predictions from optimal control theory, habitual muscle activation patterns are surprisingly robust to changes in limb biomechanics...
متن کاملVoluntary muscle activation is impaired by core temperature rather than local muscle temperature.
Fatigue during hyperthermia may be due in part to a failure of the central nervous system to fully activate the working muscles. We investigated the effects of passive hyperthermia on maximal plantar flexor isometric torque (maximal isometric voluntary contraction) and voluntary activation to determine the roles of local skin temperature, core temperature, and peripheral muscle temperature in f...
متن کاملDeprenyl Can Mediate Neuronal Protection Rather than Neuronal Rescue
Background and Objective: Deprenyl is a drug for the treatment of Parkinson’s disease, where the dopaminergic neurons are the target of this drug. Several reports also documented that deprenyl has an effect on the sensory and motor neurons. There are some reports about the mode of action of deprenyl on m...
متن کاملActivation of plantar flexor muscles is constrained by multiple muscle synergies rather than joint torques
Behavioral evidence has suggested that a small number of muscle synergies may be responsible for activating a variety of muscles. Nevertheless, such dimensionality reduction may also be explained using the perspective of alternative hypotheses, such as predictions based on linear combinations of joint torques multiplied by corresponding coefficients. To compare the explanatory capacity of these...
متن کاملPerihemorheology rather than parahemorheology.
However, the use of the term parahemorheology has been criticized, because the prefix para implies that the rheology of fluids and structures in the perivascular spaces is secondary and less important than that of the vessel-blood organ. It is also imprecise, once it does not refer to the fluids and structures being considered. By contrast, the term perihemorheology implies the rheology of flui...
