Abstract

Our understanding of the necessity of considering peripheral properties when investigating how neural activity generates behavior has significantly increased in recent years. These advances include a theoretical analysis of the neuromuscular transform and a deeper understanding of the functional effects of non-linear contractile responses, slow muscle relaxation, and neuromodulation.
