Caudal fin shape modulation and control during acceleration, braking and backing maneuvers in bluegill sunfish, Lepomis macrochirus
(The Company of Biologists, 2008)Evolutionary patterns of intrinsic caudal musculature in ray-finned fishes show that fine control of the dorsal lobe of the tail evolved first, followed by the ability to control the ventral lobe. This progression of ... -
The Cognitive Consequences of Emotion Regulation: An ERP Investigation
(Blackwell Publishers, 2008)Increasing evidence suggests that emotion regulation (ER) strategies modulate encoding of information presented during regulation; however, no studies have assessed the impact of cognitive reappraisal ER strategies on the ... -
Effects of Flight Speed upon Muscle Activity in Hummingbirds
(The Company of Biologists, 2010)Hummingbirds have the smallest body size and highest wingbeat frequencies of all flying vertebrates, so they represent one endpoint for evaluating the effects of body size on sustained muscle function and flight performance. ... -
In vivo force-length and activation dynamics of two distal rat hindlimb muscles in relation to gait and grade
(The Company of Biologists, 2019-11-21)Muscle function changes to meet the varying mechanical demands of locomotion across different gait and grade conditions. A muscle's work output is determined by time-varying patterns of neuromuscular activation, muscle ... -
Speed-dependent intrinsic caudal fin muscle recruitment during steady swimming in bluegill sunfish, Lepomis macrochirus
(The Company of Biologists, 2008)There are approximately 50 muscles that control tail fin shape in most teleost fishes, and although myotomal muscle function has been extensively studied, little work has been done on the intrinsic musculature that controls ... -
Tuning of feedforward control enables stable muscle force-length dynamics after loss of autogenic proprioceptive feedback
(Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, 2019-11-25)Animals must integrate feedforward, feedback and intrinsic mechanical control mechanisms to maintain stable locomotion. Recent studies of guinea fowl (Numida meleagris) revealed that the distal leg muscles rapidly modulate ...
