Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a tragic event causing irreversible losses of sensory, motor, and
autonomic functions, that may also be associated with chronic neuropathic pain. Serotonin …

Ionotropic inputs to motoneurones have the capacity to depolarise and hyperpolarise the
motoneurone, whereas neuromodulatory inputs control the state of excitability of the …

Key points Animal preparations have revealed that moderate synaptic release of serotonin
(5‐HT) onto motoneurones enhances motor activity via activation of 5‐HT2 receptors …

Serotonin (5-HT) modulates motoneuron excitability during muscle contractions, where the
release of 5-HT in the central nervous system (CNS) is linked to the intensity of physical …

Animal models indicate that motor behaviour is shaped by monoamine neuromodulators
released diffusely throughout the brain and spinal cord. As an alternative to conducting a …

Key points During maximal effort contractions, intense serotonin release via the raphe‐
spinal pathway spills over from the somato‐dendritic compartment to activate inhibitory 5 …

During the last 50 years, the serotonergic (5-HT) system was reported to exert a complex
modulation of locomotor activity. Here, we focus on two key factors that likely contribute to …

Purpose The neurotransmitter serotonin has a strong effect on behaviour and motor control.
Regarding motor control, serotonin contributes to the development of fatigue and is also …

This study evaluated the effects of polysaccharides from Spirulina platensis (PSP) on
endurance during treadmill exercise; levels of some biochemical indicators including …

Persistent inward currents (PICs) increase the intrinsic excitability of α-motoneurons. The
main objective of this study was to compare estimates of α-motoneuronal PICs between …
