support-information-section).Ricardo Mesquita has completed an undergraduate degree in Sports Science (Faculdade de Motricidade Humana, Portugal), a master's degree in Biology of Physical Activity (University of Jyväskylä, Finland), and the work described herein is part of his PhD in Exercise Science (Edith Cowan University, Australia). Ricardo's PhD has focused on alpha motoneurons -nerve cells in the spinal cord that innervate muscle fibres to produce muscle contractions. With a background in human physiology and neuromuscular control, Ricardo aims to better understand human motor commands and disseminate research findings that can ultimately be used to improve muscle control in healthy and clinical populations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
