Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The mechanisms underlying sarcopenia-related physical decline remain poorly understood, particularly with respect to neural contributions. Muscle atrophy has traditionally been viewed as the primary driver, but growing evidence suggests that neuromuscular impairments-especially reduced intrinsic motoneuron excitability-may play a central role. This intrinsic excitability, which is critical for...
