Cody Helm & Fabrizo Sergi are excited to announce a recent publication titled "Intensity-Dependent Inhibition of Single Pulse TMS on Stretch-Evoked Long-Latency Responses in the Flexor Carpi Radialis" in the European Journal of Neuroscience. In this work, we aimed to determine the effect of TMS intensity on its capability to inhibit the long-latency response in a forearm flexor muscle. Twelve healthy participants completed a protocol combining surface EMG, single pulse TMS, and wrist extension perturbations to study the effect of TMS intensity on the long-latency response amplitude. We tested two TMS intensities of subthreshold (90%) and suprathreshold (130%) of the active motor threshold applied prior to the start of a wrist perturbation. We found that suprathreshold TMS trials achieved LLR inhibition, while subthreshold trials did not result in LLR-specific inhibition. This work establishes a clear distinction between the effect of subthreshold and suprathreshold TMS on the LLR inhibition via the cortical silent period and informs the design of future studies that aim to achieve cortical inhibition of long-latency responses.

📢 New IEEE Journal Publication! “Effects of Belt Accelerations During Push-Off on Propulsion Mechanics in Individuals Post-Stroke,” led by Hannah Cohen, explores a novel approach to post-stroke walking rehabilitation. This collaborative study between Biomedical Engineering and Physical Therapy at the University of Delaware investigates belt accelerations on a split-belt treadmill in 34 individuals post-stroke to challenge propulsion and restore effective walking biomechanics.t 🔗 Read the full article: ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/11442…

Gleghorn Lab hosted Andreea Monica Marin for hands-on experience with our modular organ-on-chip model at the University of Delaware. One of the amazing scientists we have the opportunity to collaborate with. It is exciting to translate this technology to other labs. Watch for some exciting work from Monica and Sarah Lebeer as they unlock new discoveries with these human vagina-on-a-chip models! Pictured with BME Graduate student, Filipa Ribeiro.
