How Science Maps Out Muscle Movements

Neuromuscular junctions are the key players in our body's ability to move. They act as the bridge between our nerves and muscles, allowing us to perform any voluntary action. To understand these junctions better, researchers have turned to a method called scientometric analysis. This approach helps to create and visualize networks of information related to neuromuscu...

Older Adults: How Just 10 Days of Inactivity Affects Muscle Signals

The neuromuscular junction is a vital link between nerves and muscles. It is responsible for triggering muscle contractions. However, the effects of short-term inactivity on this junction, especially in older adults, are not well understood. A recent study shed some light on this issue. It focused on 10 older men, with an average age of 68. 5 years, who spent 10 days...
