Time Constant Analysis of Initial 'Jump' in Firing Rate of Human Motor Units During Isometic Contraction

Ongoing research studying the underlying mechanism and prevalence of Persistent Inward Currents (PICs) has posed a challenge to the conventional view that the firing rate of a motor unit is proportional to the amount of synaptic input it receives. Near the time of human motor unit recruitment during...
