From gunnery to homeostasis: is physiological constancy controlled intermittently?

Negative feedback mechanisms are fundamental for the regulation of movement, as well as systemic and cellular variables. Recent research shows that serial ballistic action provides a new physiological paradigm for interpreting sustained control.

Is this my finger?

We know our body is ours, but which signals does the brain use to work out which things are part of ’us’ and which things are not?
  • Features

The importance of being in the right spot

Glycogen is distributed differently in distinct fibre phenotypes, glycogen utilization is different at distinct localizations, and the role of glycogen in working skeletal muscles depends on its localization at a subcellular level.

Brain glycogen decrease and central fatigue during prolonged exercise

Hard physical exertion impacts not only on the body but also on the mind. The metabolic changes in neurons reveal, as in muscle, that glycogen plays a crucial role.
