Journal ArticleDOI
Response of the neuromuscular unit to spaceflight: what has been learned from the rat model
TL;DR: The major effects of spaceflight observed in muscles of rats that are not in their rapid growth stage, including muscle fiber and neuromuscular junction damage, and the glycolytic capacity of the muscles and muscle fibers is enhanced after spaceflight.
Book ChapterDOI
Neuromuscular adaptation to actual and simulated weightlessness.
V. R. Edgerton,Roland R. Roy +1 more
TL;DR: The present chapter illustrates the inevitable interactive effects of neural and muscular systems in adapting to space and describes the considerable progress that has been made toward the goal of minimizing the functional impact of the stimuli that induce the neuromuscular adaptations to space.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plasticity of functional connectivity in the adult spinal cord
TL;DR: Characteristics of the neural control of locomotion that provide opportunities for developing strategies to maximize the recovery of postural and locomotor functions after a spinal cord injury are emphasized.
Journal ArticleDOI
Anabolic steroids increase exercise tolerance
Tetsuro Tamaki,Shuichi Uchiyama,Yoshiyasu Uchiyama,Akira Akatsuka,Roland R. Roy,V. Reggie Edgerton +5 more
TL;DR: Results indicate that AAS treatment ameliorates CK efflux and the uptake of [3H]thymidine and enhances the rate of protein synthesis during recovery after a bout of weight lifting, all being consistent with there being less muscle damage.
Journal ArticleDOI
Extensor- and flexor-like modulation within motor pools of the rat hindlimb during treadmill locomotion and swimming.
TL;DR: The data suggest that motoneurons within a motor pool of a uniarticular as well as a biarticular muscle can be modulated by more than one cyclical input, probably of central origin, and that under some conditions several motor pools may share the same central commands.
