AIMS Laboratory Students Present at the Eastern Carolina Chapter of the Society for Neuroscience
October 30th, 2014
Students and faculty from the AIMS Laboratory presented their research at the Eastern Carolina
Chapter of the Society for Neuroscience (ECC SfN) on Thursday, October 30th. The focus of the research
presented at the ECC SfN ranges from cellular mechanisms of tissue pathology to organism-level
movement patterns in healthy and pathological populations. The AIMS Laboratory was well
represented with six student and faculty researchers giving poster presentations. The research data
presented at the ECC SfN pertained to a variety of research foci within the AIMS Lab including motor
control in Parkinson’s disease (Powell and Scott), neuromuscular and cardiopulmonary manifestations of
fatigue (Catanzarito, Best and Bunn) and postural stability (Ake). Individual presentations and author
lists are listed below.
•
Continuous movement trajectory modulates stretch reflex amplitude in Parkinson’s disease.
Powell, DW, Scott, LA, Ake, KM, Muthumani, A, Xia, RP.
•
Training paradigm is associated with unique sway velocities during quiet stance. Ake, KM, Scott,
LA, Catanzarito, B, Williams, DS, Powell, DW.
•
EMG normalization masks medication-based reductions in reflex amplitude in individuals with
Parkinson’s disease. Scott, LA, Ake, KM, Catanzarito, B, Muthumani, A, Xia, RP, Powell, DW.
•
Fatigue-related shifts in median frequency of quadriceps EMG in steady state running.
Catanzarito, BR, Best, KA, Ake, KM, Scott, LA, Bunn, JA, Powell, DW.
•
EMG amplitude is not indicative of fatigue during submaximal steady state running. Best, KA,
Catanzarito, BR, Ake, KM, Scott, LA, Bunn, JA, Powell, DW.
•
Effect of compression garments on lower extremity fatigue during steady state run. Bunn, JA,
Catanzarito, BR, Best, KA, Ake, KM, Scott, LA, Powell, DW.
