I’m incredibly honoured to receive the International Society of Motor Control Early Career Investigator Award. This recognition reflects the amazing mentors, collaborators, and trainees I’ve had the privilege to learn from and work alongside. Thank-you all! 🙏

Excited to have presented some early data from our wider collaborative project @ecssofficial.bsky.social More to come! @nuneurofunc.bsky.social @northumbriauni.bsky.social

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.

Intrinsic properties of spinal motoneurons degrade ankle torque control in humans Abstract figure legend All motor commands are processed via spinal motoneurons, whose intrinsic electrical properties are adapted by brainstem neuromodulatory inputs. The effects of these neuromodula....

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.

Acute Intermittent Hypoxia in People Living With Chronic Stroke: A Case Series | Stroke BACKGROUND: Acute intermittent hypoxia (AIH) is a novel therapeutic intervention that facilitates recovery of function, but the tolerability and effectiveness have not been tested in people living wit...

Our recent case series on the tolerability and safety of acute intermittent hypoxia in people living with chronic stroke is now available online at Stroke. Initial results are positive, with much more work needed to refine protocols and confrim effectiveness www.ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/...
