MUSCLE WEAKNESS AND LACK OF REFLEX GAIN ADAPTATION PREDOMINATE DURING POST-STROKE POSTURE CONTROL OF THE WRIST

Muscle weakness and lack of reflex gain adaptation predominate during post-stroke posture control of the wrist

Abstract Background Instead of hyper-reflexia as sole paradigm, post-stroke movement disorders are currently considered the result of a complex interplay between neuronal and muscular properties, modified by level of activity.We used a closed loop system identification technique to quantify individual contributors to wrist joint stiffness during an

Morphological Innovation Drives Sperm Release in Bryophytes

Abstract Plant movements for survival are nontrivial.Antheridia in the moss Physcomitrium patens (P.patens) use motion to eject sperm in the presence of water.However, the biological and mechanical mechanisms that actuate the process are unknown.Here, the Word Art burst of the antheridium of P.patens, triggered by water, results from elastic instab

A review of H5Nx avian influenza viruses

Highly pathogenic avian influenza viruses (HPAIVs), originating from the A/goose/Guangdong/1/1996 H5 subtype, naturally circulate in wild-bird populations, particularly waterfowl, and often spill over to infect domestic poultry.Occasionally, humans are infected with HPAVI H5N1 resulting in high mortality, Spices but no sustained human-to-human tran
