Invited review: Mechanisms underlying motor unit plasticity in the respiratory system.

Journal of applied physiology (Bethesda, Md. : 1985) - 1 Mar 2003

Mantilla Carlos B, Sieck Gary C

Abstract excerpt

Neuromotor control of skeletal muscles, including respiratory muscles, is ultimately dependent on the function of the motor unit (comprising an individual motoneuron and the muscle fibers it innervates). Considerable diversity exists across diaphragm motor units, yet remarkable homogeneity is present (and maintained) within motor units. In recent years, the mechanisms underlying the development and adaptability...
