The motor system comprises the neural structures and pathways that plan, control, and execute voluntary and involuntary movements, including the brain's motor cortex, basal ganglia, cerebellum, spinal cord, and associated neuromuscular connections. Research published in International Physiology Journal addresses multiple dimensions of motor system function and dysfunction. Studies have examined how prolonged spaceflight affects the mechanical properties of skeletal muscle, specifically investigating electromechanical delay and musculotendinous stiffness in the triceps surae muscle, revealing adaptations relevant to human physiology in extreme environments. The journal has published work on neurotransmitter modulation within the substantia nigra, a critical basal ganglia structure, demonstrating how nociceptin/orphanin FQ influences dopamine and serotonin activity through in vivo voltammetric and electrophysiological techniques. Additional research has explored motor system pathophysiology in autism spectrum disorder, reviewing neuroscience theories and hypotheses underlying movement-related features of the condition. The journal has also addressed therapeutic interventions for Parkinson's disease, a degenerative motor disorder, comparing the efficiency of different subcutaneous infusion treatments. Understanding motor system physiology is essential for addressing movement disorders, optimizing human performance, and developing targeted clinical interventions.
