Sustained maximal voluntary contraction produces independent changes in human motor axons and the muscle they innervate.
The repetitive discharges required to produce a sustained muscle contraction results in activity-dependent hyperpolarization of the motor axons and a reduction in the force-generating capacity of the muscle. We investigated the relationship between these changes in the adductor pollicis muscle and t...
