The effect of concurrent mental and physical fatigue on physical endurance performance, strength and muscle activity: a pilot study
… of mental and physical fatigue on upper limb neuromechanics and endurance performance, compared to just mental fatigue and physical fatigue elicited independently. Initial findings from this thesis provide initial support for concurrent mental and physical fatigue detrimentally affecting …

Neurons under tension: A study of vesicle dynamics
… is to introduce the growing field of cellular neuromechanics and present my Ph.D. research on the dynamics of vesicles in neurons under tension. To understand the role of mechanics in neuron function, we must take a closer look at the underlying subcellular dynamics. The basic goal of this …

INTEGRATION OF INTRA-AUDITORY MODALITIES FOR THE ENHANCEMENT OF MOTOR PERFORMANCE AND COORDINATION IN A CONSTANT FORCE PRODUCTION TASK
One of most fundamental problems in the field of neuromechanics is to understand how the central nervous system (CNS) integrates multiple sources of sensory information and coordinates multiple effectors in human movement. Much attention has been directed to the integration of multiple modalities …

Stretch induced hyperexcitability of mice callosal pathway
Memory and learning are thought to result from changes in synaptic strength. Previous studies on synaptic physiology in brain slices have traditionally been focused on biochemical processes. Here, we demonstrate with experiments on mouse brain slices that central nervous system plasticity is also …

In vivo and in vitro guidance of developing neurons by mechanical cues
During nervous system development, growing axons navigate towards their targets using signals from their environment. These signals may be biochemical or mechanical in nature; however, the role of mechanical cues in axon pathfinding in vivo, and the spatiotemporal dynamics of embryonic brain …

Mechanics of axonal force generation in embryonic Drosophila neurons in vivo
Neurons are excitable cell types that process and convey information by producing electrochemical signals. Neurons are known to be the core functional components of the brain and spinal cords in all animals. They communicate with other neuron or muscle junctions at specific points by releasing …

Sex differences in the neural control of muscle
Sex-differences in muscle strength have been linked to differences in muscle size, involved limb, and daily activities. Early work has shown that sex-differences are greater in the upper compared to lower limb, making the upper limb an ideal model to investigate the best statistical approaches for …
