Fatigue, aging and the neuromuscular system
… between chronic exercise activity, aging, the neuromuscular system and the symptom of fatigue in a series of studies. The hypothesis of the thesis was that in contrast to the accepted dogma that exercise is beneficial to an individual, increasing longevity and improving quality of life, …

Cell-selective modulation of the neuromuscular system in Drosophila
… of all cells in the organism. Synchronizing systemic signalling systems at the cellular, organ and whole-organism level is a formidable task, and for most species requires a large number of signalling molecules and their receptors. One of the major types of signalling molecules used …

Impacts of blood flow occlusion on the human neuromuscular system
… how BFO acutely affects muscle fatigue, the neuromuscular system, muscle contractile properties and motor unit firing rates, using a combination of electrical stimulation, transcranial magnetic stimulation, transmastoid stimulation, force production, and electromyography (EMG). Study one …

Role of the mGRIP1 homologue DGrip in the Drosophila neuromuscular system
Diese Arbeit beschreibt die Identifizierung und Charakterisierung des Drosophila Glutamate Receptor Interacting Proteins (DGrip), ein Protein bestehend aus sieben PDZ Domänen. DGrip mutante Fliegen zeigen im Wesentlichen vier Defekte: 1. den spezifischen Verlust der Antwort auf Wegweisermoleküle in …

Developing a Functional in Vitro Model of the Neuromuscular Interface
The neuromuscular system is responsible for the coordination of movement throughout the body, and while research has revealed many of the mechanisms involved in the function of the neuromuscular system, there are still many gaps in our understanding of how all of the components of the system work …

The Incidence of the Immediate Side Shift in Clinically Determined Eccentric Bruxers
… so objectionable the normal capacity of the neuromuscular system to adapt is exceeded. The irritability threshold of the neuromuscular system may be altered by such factors as emotional or psychic tension (e.g., anger, fear, and repeated aggression).

Dynamic primitives facilitate manipulating a whip
… that of modern robots, despite a much slower neuromuscular system. Understanding how this is accomplished may lead to improved robot control. The slow neuromuscular system of humans implies that prediction based on some form of internal model plays a prominent role. However, the nature of the …

Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation of the Dorsolateral Prefrontal Cortex Does Not Improve Handgrip Time-to-Failure or Alter Central or Peripheral Hemodynamics
<p>Age-related deviations to the neuromuscular system negatively impact motor function and performance. Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) has been linked to improvements in the neuromuscular system. The purpose of this study was to determine if tDCS delivered to the dorsolateral …

The role of the de novo DNA methyltransferase Dnmt3a in the nervous system
… that of DNA methylation operate in the nervous system. Genetic disruption of the de novo DNA methyltransferase Dnmt3a in mice were used to elucidate the role of the enzyme in the nervous system. Inactivating Dnmt3a in the nervous system resulted in a drastically shortened lifespan and in …

Cellular organisation of peripheral nerve and the neuromuscular junction
… organisation of cells in the peripheral nervous system is crucial for its proper function. Action potential generation, conduction and synaptic transmission to the muscle fibres are dependent not only on cells directly implicated in these functions (i.e. neurons and muscle fibers) but also on …

Building a Consistent Neuronetwork: Defining Molecular Cues Involved in the Synaptic Target Recognition of Drosophila Melanogaster
… a subset of muscles in the Drosophila embryonic neuromuscular system, Fas3 and Toll, that affect this process in opposite ways. Fas3, an immunoglobulin molecule, is capable of homophilically inducing synaptic target recognition, while Toll, a leucine-rich repeat molecule, prevents the process. …

Effects of Isolated Core Stability Training on Standing Static Postural Control, Recovery of Standing Postural Control and Kicking Velocity in Soccer Athletes
… anatomical and physiological mechanisms and systems involved in stabilizing the trunk for movement of the lower extremities. The ability of the trunk to maintain the position and motion of the trunk over the pelvis and LE’s is predominantly accomplished via quick postural responses to …

Sleep Apnea Equipment’s for Obstructive Sleep Apnea
… alterations and disturbances in upper airway neuromuscular control, plays key roles in the pathogenesis of obstructive sleep apnea. It can increase pharyngeal collapsibility through mechanical effects on pharyngeal soft tissues and lung volume and through central nervous system–acting …

EXERCISE IS NEUROPROTECTIVE TO MOTONEURON DENDRITES FOLLOWING PARTIAL MOTONEURON DEPLETION VIA A MECHANISM DEPENDENT ON ANDROGEN RECEPTORS AT THE TARGET MUSCLE
… androgen sensitivity to a previously insensitive neuromuscular system. The findings in this dissertation demonstrate that exercise is neuroprotective to motoneurons via the same mechanism of androgen receptor activation in the target muscle seen with supplemental hormone treatment, and that a …

Analysis of Postsynaptic Morphology During Neuromuscular Synaptogenesis in Drosophila Melanogaster
… cells (muscles) in the Drosophila embryonic neuromuscular system during the period of axon pathfinding and synaptic targeting. Embryonic Drosophila muscle cells extend numerous actin-based microprocesses (myopodia) during these stages of development. While the initial extension of myopodia …

Design, fabrication, and characterization of controllable conducting polymer actuation systems
… composition of mammalian skeletal muscle and the neuromuscular system consists of actuation elements, length sensors, force sensors, localized energy storage, controlled energy delivery, computational components, and intercommunication pathways. Conducting polymer materials are versatile enough to …

Prolonged Lumbar Flexion Disturbs Paraspinal Reflex Behavior
The neuromuscular response to prolonged lumbar flexion has recently been extensively studied in felines but has not been examined in humans. Animal studies suggest that prolonged lumbar flexion disturbs neuromuscular control of paraspinal muscles. This disturbance was linked to creep deformation of …

EGFR signaling regulates synaptic connectivity via Gurken
… morphology and growth at the Drosophila larval neuromuscular junction: NMJ). My screen identified several mutants with defects in various aspects of synaptic development. I pursued a more in depth analysis of an identified mutant, happyhour, with defects in synaptic target selection. Synaptic …
