Nerve cells can regulate their sensitivity to incoming signals autonomously. A new study has now discovered a mechanism that does just that. Nerve cells can regulate their sensitivity to incoming ...
In humans, who are mainly active during daylight hours, the capacity for learning and memory formation may peak during the twilight period approaching sunset. In other words, the best time to study or ...
This study investigates neurophysiological mechanisms underlying corticospinal excitability and sensorimotor cortical activity in response to neuroplasticity-priming interventions. We use non-invasive ...
Nocturnal rats are active at night and accumulate fatigue toward dawn. Using optogenetic stimulation of cortical neurons and simultaneous local field potential (LFP) recordings, the study revealed ...
Researchers have devised a way to achieve long-term changes in neuron activity. With their new strategy, they can use light exposure to change the electrical capacitance of the neurons' membranes, ...
Background Previous studies have suggested that hamstring strain injury leads to activation and strength deficits in hamstring muscles. However, the effects of previous hamstring strain injury on the ...
Peripheral sensitization refers to the lowering of the threshold of excitability of sensory neurons, which leads to an amplified reaction to a specific external stimulus. Sensitization can be mediated ...
This study investigates changes in spinal excitability using peripheral nerve stimulation. We use the Hoffman reflex (H-reflex) to assess segmental changes following a neuroplasticity-priming ...
CAMBRIDGE, MA -- Nearly 20 years ago, scientists developed ways to stimulate or silence neurons by shining light on them. This technique, known as optogenetics, allows researchers to discover the ...
