Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

The Journal of Neurophysiology investigates neural control of movement and sensory processing. Research includes motor unit discharge properties during voluntary contractions, spinal cord mechanisms of respiratory control, visual processing in the retina, and reflex modulation during locomotion. Studies also explore neuromodulation techniques like repetitive peripheral magnetic stimulation and transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation, as well as neural adaptations to environmental factors such as hypoxia.
