After-effects of preceding movement on the activity of primary spindle afferents of de-efferented cat hindlimb muscles were examined during the dynamic phases of slow linear test movements. These dynamic after-effects were compared with the static after-effects observed in the spindle activity during steady-state of the parent muscle and with hysteresis after-effects of the muscle proper. According to their pattern, the dynamic phases of the spindle and muscle reactions can be divided into two parts. During the first part (at the beginning of movement), both spindle responses and muscle state (either length or load depending on the mode of the test movement) strongly depended on the previous history of movement, being completely independent of the direction of preceding movement in the second part of the dynamic phase. These two parts were treated in terms of interaction of the movement-dependent after-effects in muscles and muscle spindle afferents. These findings allowed us to suppose that, during rather slow single-joint movements, the spindle afferents from the passive antagonist muscles can provide signals free from the effects of preceding movement.

Introduction: The linear and continuous increase in power output (PO) during ramp incremental (RI) exercise causes a distinct V̇O2/PO relationship compared to constant work rate (CWR) exercise. Current methods enabling a translation of ramp-derived PO to CWR PO assume a linear development of the CWR V̇O2/PO relationship in the heavy-intensity domain. This study aimed to model the RI versus CWR V̇O2/PO relationship to investigate whether the loss of mechanical efficiency above GET develops linearly.

Background: The objective of this systematic review was to review the current evidence on the effects of acute exercise with and without morning breakfast consumption on cognitive performance.
Methods: This systematic review followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis guidelines and is registered in the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (CRD42023396125). Studies were included if they investigated effects of acute exercise with and without preceding morning breakfast on cognitive performance measured during and following exercise in healthy adults.
Metastable state preceding shear zone instability: Implications for earthquake-accelerated landslides and dynamic triggering.

Understanding the dynamic response of granular shear zones under cyclic loading is fundamental to elucidating the mechanisms triggering earthquake-induced landslides, with implications for broader fields such as seismology and granular physics. Existing prediction methods struggle to accurately predict many experimental and in situ landslide observations due to inadequate consideration of the underlying physical mechanisms. The mechanisms that influence landslide dynamic triggering, a transition from static (or extremely slow creeping) to rapid runout, remain elusive.

Understanding how corticostriatal circuits mediate behavioral selection and initiation in a naturalistic setting is critical to understanding behavior choice and execution in unconstrained situations. The central striatum (CS) is well poised to play an important role in these spontaneous processes. Using fiber photometry and optogenetics, we identify a role for CS in grooming initiation.
