🚨New preprint out! Here we explored how the nervous system modulates the common synaptic inputs to motor neurons during grasping vs less functionally relevant hand tasks. Especially honored to have collaborated with Prof. Fuglevand on this one. 🔗doi.org/10.1101/2025.05.02.6…

It's been a long journey, but, happy to get this PhD fully done. I can now actually go back to living my life in peace😅.

🆕Very happy to see our #SRMA published in @japplphysiol! Here, we summarized the literature investigating motor unit discharge behavior during isometric contractions at various force levels. 📊We also provide a comprehensive dataset in supplementary material. Check it out 👇
Call it a St Paddy’s Day miracle but it’s finally out on this special day. Very proud of this team effort. This also represents my first paper for my @MSCActions PDF as we also address short comings in the identification of MU behaviour in underrepresented populations.

🚨Super happy to have our meta comparing ageing and muscle damage accepted! Hopefully this paper will challenge the notion that ageing is associated with more muscle damage/prolonged recovery 🧓🏾 Shout out to the brilliant team on this paper 🎉 👉🏾researchgate.net/publication…
