Introduction: Muscle fatigue, characterized by diminished force production and contraction sustainability, can impair muscle coordination and increase joint instability. Differing force profiles used in fatiguing tasks, such as prolonged eccentric trunk protocols, might provide insights into individualized strategies and resulting spinal stability. Thus, this study assessed individual differences in fatigue characteristics during an eccentric trunk flexion-extension protocol in a population of asymptomatic individuals.

- - The study investigates how animals balance their desire to explore with their need for safety, focusing on the role of brain circuits in regulating movement and motivation.
- - Researchers identified a specific glutamatergic pathway from the medial septum and diagonal band of Broca to the ventral tegmental area that influences exploratory behaviors in mice.
- - Using machine learning, the team demonstrated that activating this pathway leads to increased exploratory actions, suggesting it plays a critical role in initiating locomotion and exploration-related behaviors.
Exercise interventions are evident in the treatment of mid-portion Achilles tendinopathy (AT). However, there is still a lack of knowledge concerning the effect of different exercise treatments on improving a specific function (e.g.

Traditionally, cortical motor regions and key subcortical structures such as the cerebellum have been tightly linked to motor initiation, coordination, and directed motor behavior. However, recent neuroimaging studies have noted the activation of the cerebellum and wider cortical networks specifically during various forms of motor processing, including the observations of actions and mental rehearsal of movements through motor imagery.
