A few days ago, I had the opportunity to present my research at the American Physiology Summit in Minneapolis, MN. It was a great experience discussing advances in physiology and meeting future colleagues.

Presenting our research project at Neuroscience 2025 in San Diego, CA has been a fantastinc experience.
Grateful for this amazing opportunity to connect with fellow researchers in the field.

📚Max strength is linked to better bone density (BMD) as we age. Men may lose strength faster, while women see greater BMD decline—but strength training helps preserve muscle mass, strenght, and BMD over time. 🏋♀️🏋♂️ https://t.co/yFVtNPaLia
Strength training can improve nerve conduction velocity in young and older adults, representing an useful tool to counter age-related nerve deteriorations.

Excellent review on Persistent Inward Currents (PICs) in human motoneurons, summarizing knowns, unknowns, and potential factors that shape their behavior.

I have successfully completed the Reviewer Certificate Program offered by the American Physiological Society (APS).
I'm excited to continue growing as a contributor of the scientific community.

I'm happy to share (a little late!) that our paper has been accepted for publication in the Journal of Neurophysiology.

Interesting viewpoint summarizing the correlation between arterial blood pressure and motor unit firing rate. Previous findings suggested that motor unit firing rate could drive arterial blood pressure responses to exercise.

This paper provides insight into MS-related motor dysfunction. Individuals with MS present reduced motor unit spike count, slower discharge rate, and greater firing rate variability compared to healthy adults.

This interesting paper highlights how older adults that regularly engage in resistance training preserve their physical function compared to an aged-matched group that does not perform strength exercises.

I'm excited to share that I have submitted an abstract for the upcoming #SfN25 annual conference in San Diego, CA.
I look forward to the opportunity to connect with fellow scientists in the field motor neuron behavior and motor control.

Always a great experience at ACSM Annual Meeting - this time in Atlanta, GA!
Very interesting conversations with amazing researchers in the field of neuromuscular physiology.

This paper presents a model that explains neural strategies during explosive muscle contractions. In a fast contraction, motor units are recruited at lower thresholds to offset the mechanical constraints of the force-velocity curve.

Corticospinal excitability is reduced in older individuals indicating a potential different neural organization compared to younger people.
This is an excellent reading to get into the topic!

Interesting paper that breaks down motor unit-related neuromuscular differences between men and women. The article foucuses on discharge rate properties in low and high-threshold motor units.
