This project investigates the molecular mechanisms that determine the types of motor neurons and their roles in neuromuscular function. By using genetic and electrophysiological techniques in mice and chicks, it aims to understand how these neurons adapt to physical activity and disease.
Motor neurons (MNs) constitute the final common pathway in the generation of behaviors by linking the CNS with the movement apparatus.
Herein, MNs diversify into fast, intermediate and slow types whose properties are tuned to the speed, force and endurance of the muscle fiber contractions they elicit.
The MN-muscle fiber units display marked plasticity towards chronically altered physical activity, and show strong differences in their vulnerability towards degenerative conditions affecting the n…
