[HTML][HTML] Common synaptic inputs and persistent inward currents of vastus lateralis motor units are reduced in older male adults
Although muscle atrophy may partially account for age-related strength decline, it is further
influenced by alterations of neural input to muscle. Persistent inward currents (PIC) and the …
