Thrilled to publish our work using cortical hyperexcitability induced by chemogenetics in vivo to drive #ALS #MND symptoms and pathology. Strong support for a pathological role of cortical hyperexcitability in ALS and a dying-forward mode of neurodegeneration 🧠 …

📣 NEW #PhDAcademyAward 🏆 Neurophysiological characteristics accompanying runners with Achilles tendinopathy and their influence in triceps surae performance 🧠 🏃‍♀️ See 👇 the changes in cortical and corticospinal circuits in runners with Achilles tendinopathy and their

1/ 🧠 New study: Is soleus intrinsic motor neuron excitability contributing to motor deficits in runners with Achilles tendinopathy? 🏃‍♂️💡 Here’s what we found 👇 📄 https://t.co/P8s6iq9etX @orssattolucas @gabrielstrajano

Muscle power outperforms strength in predicting mortality. In power training movements are executed AS FAST AS POSSIBLE (concentric phase), differing from “traditional” resistance training in which speed of execution is not prescribed or defined.

🚨Retweets appreciated!🚨 I’m searching for my next rockstar PhD student @UCF_Kinesiology! Join @UCF_CNSlab in sunny Orlando ☀️ where we work hard but laugh at our failures along the way. Future work will primarily focus on neuromuscular aging and disuse.

Great work by @ricardoNOmesqui !

Together with @JSkarabot & @SimonAvrillon, we are happy to share a new postdoc opportunity. We are looking for someone to lead and support an international collaboration to decode motor pools during dynamic motor tasks. See link for more information: https://t.co/LOIzm7bqP5

RTs appreciated: I have an open position for a PostDoc in the newly formed Neural Health Research Laboratory at Syracuse University. Funding available for 2 yrs. It is a tight timeline as I'm looking for candidates that can start right away. https://t.co/1wHfuCnYfn

The problem with academia is that those who truly know often don't teach, and those who usually teach often don't truly know.

I'm currently recruiting PhD students to work on a series of funded projects in lower limb musculoskeletal biomechanics. We have a great team, amazing facilities and QLD, Australia is the best place in the world to live. https://t.co/mkl0Z5nLcv @ISBiomechanics @ISBSOFFICIAL
