Neuron Paper from the McLean Lab

NUIN graduate student, Wei-Chun Wang (McLean Lab), published a paper in Neuron. Her paper, Selective Responses to Tonic Descending Commands by Temporal Summation in a Spinal Motor Pool, reveals findings “that weighted descending commands can generate selective motor responses by exploiting systematic differences in the biophysical properties of target motoneurons and their relative sensitivity to tonic input.”
