Second up from our group from @northumbriauni.bsky.social is @padraig-spillane.bsky.social presenting his work titled Contraction intensity-specific fluctuations in motor unit behaviour across the menstrual cycle at @ecssofficial.bsky.social in Rimini, Italy 🇮🇹

Chronic resistance and endurance training alters the way in which motor unit discharge rates are modulated across contraction intensities, suggesting alterations in net excitatory synaptic input - another fun collaboration with @jskarabot.bsky.social and colleagues.

New pub from Drew in CJ’s lab. We showed prolonged firing of motoneurons makes it hard to control force, estimates of PICs are larger at short muscle lengths, and combining the two exacerbates this prolongation of firing-induced force variability.
