From the authors: “A new method of estimating synaptic drive to multiple, simultaneously recorded motor units provides evidence that the portion of the depolarizing drive from persistent inward currents that contributes to self-sustained firing is similar across motoneurons of different sizes.”
This study is highlighted as one of August’s “best of the best” as part of the American Physiological Society’s APSselect program.
