Intrinsic properties of spinal motoneurons degrade ankle torque control in humans

2023-10-25

Abstract excerpt

Motoneurons are the final common pathway for all motor commands and possess intrinsic electrical properties that must be tuned to control muscle across the full range of motor behaviors. Neuromodulatory input from the brainstem is likely essential for adapting motoneuron properties to match this diversity of motor tasks. A primary mechanism of this adaptation, control of dendritic persistent inward currents (PICs)...
