francoishug.bsky.social‬ et al. investigated non-homogeneous distribution of inhibitory inputs amon#motoror units in response t#nociceptiveve stimulation at moderate contraction intensity ⚙️ ✍️

📜 Read th#Researchch here: https://physoc.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1113/JP288504

We combined experimental data + simulation to study how nociceptive stimulation affects motor unit behavior during moderate contractions.

Our findings challenge the traditional view of uniform inhibition and provide new insights into how the nervous system adapts to pain during muscle contraction.

Collab with @francoishug.bsky.social

We are recruiting a postdoc for an exciting multi-disciplinary project that explores the use of quantum sensors to measure muscle behaviour - looking for someone with skills in ultrasound, mocap, and EMG - funded by QLD Government's Quantum 2032 Challenge uq.wd3.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/uqcare...

📌 The dimensionality of the linear manifold may not directly reflect the dimensionality of descending inputs but could instead relate to the organization of local spinal circuits.

We combined experimental data and in silico models and showed that the activity of a large sample of motor units from a single hashtag#muscle can be represented by a multidimensional linear manifold; however, these units show very limited flexibility in their recruitment.

Finishing the year in style with a job alert! 📢
I am seeking for a talented postdoctoral researcher/researcher to join my Neuromechanics group at UNSW. This is a 2-year full-time position focusing on predictive musculoskeletal simulations (1/3) 👇

🆕 Check out our latest publication in @elife.bsky.social, led by @simonavrillon.bsky.social 👏: "The identification of extensive samples of motor units in human muscles reveals diverse effects of neuromodulatory inputs on the rate coding" 👉 urlr.me/uE8cxG

In my group, we focus on understanding the neural control of movement at the spinal motor neuron level, combining experimental and computational approaches. We combine high-density surface #EMG and blind source separation algorithms to decode motor neuron firing activity non-invasively.

🆕 Open calls for postdoctoral fellowships at Université Côte d'Azur (Nice, France) ☀️ 🌴! If you completed your PhD within the last four years and have a passion for the neural control of movement, I encourage you to apply to join my research team at LAMHESS 👉 urlr.me/5VByYA
