Sentence examples for motor neuron firing from inspiring English sources

In this brief essay we make a case that a new focus on the intersection of cortical and spinal circuits may provide clarity to the interpretation of corticospinal motor neuron firing patterns and help specify the logic of corticospinal motor neuronal function.

These results suggest that the central neurons in the VNC receive excitatory feedback from ASN to increase motor neuron firing.

Diminished control of motor neuron firing has been explained by the loss of presynaptic motor axon input on Renshaw cells occurring in the early stages of amytrophic lateral sclerosis and the disconnection of the recurrent inhibitory circuit [ 65].

Furthermore, studies that have investigated the effect of motor neuron firing on mammalian muscle fiber identity have shown that infrequent (10 Hz frequency) electric stimulation of fast muscle fibers significantly prolonged their contraction and relaxation times [ 12].

2) Some motor neurons fired at extremely low Vthr (i.e. below -60mV, Fig.6A2).

However in the quiescent state (standing period of no movement), the firing rate of the slow-excitatory units remained less and the common inhibitory motor neurons fired sporadically (Nishino, 2004).

5) Figure 8A is interesting, but it seems to me that the motor neuron fires before Purkinje cell bursts.

When motor neurons fire in the spinal cord, an output signal from the brain, you get a direct response in the muscle.

To this end, secondary motor neurons fire action potentials intermittently (chattering) or in bursts, while primary motor neurons spike tonically [ 30].

These two groups of motor neurons fire sequentially with the same periodicity as the defecation behavior, as revealed by in vivo Ca2+ imaging.

At C-boutons, a major source of this input, acetylcholine activates muscarinic M2 receptors on motor neurons, and increases the frequency of motor-neuron firing (Miles et al, 2007).
