The contribution of calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein-kinase II (CaMKII) to short-term plasticity at the neuromuscular junction.

abstract：:Normal human subjects made rapid extensions of the elbow from an initial position to visual targets at different angular distances (9 degrees-54 degrees). We recorded joint angle, acceleration, and surface electromyograms (EMGs) with a monopolar electrode from the triceps and the biceps brachii muscles. Both the agoni...
