چکیده

In this issue of Neuron, three papers, Severi et al. (2014), Thiele et al. (2014), and Wang and McLean (2014), examine the descending circuitry involved in coordinating locomotor behavior in larval zebrafish. Visually evoked locomotor and steering movements in zebrafish are mediated by neurons in the nucleus of the medial longitudinal fascicle (nMLF) that project directly to spinal motoneurons. The final motor output induced by nMLF will involve integration in the hindbrain and premotor circuits in the spinal cord.

بررسی تأثیر تمرینات کششی ران و مچ پا در بهبود تعادل عملکردی سالمندان

Objectives: Reduced range of motion, as a consequence of the muscle and connective tissue stiffness has been shown to associate with higher incidence of falling in elderly. Some investigations have indicated that reduced hip and the ankle range of motions, constitutes one of the main causes of fall due to their influence on walking pattern. This study examined the impact of an eight–week ...
