New pre-print alert! 🧠👴🧓 We observed lower intrinsic motor neurone excitability in older adults, likely mediated by decreases in the strength of persistent inward currents. Comments are welcome! Gabriel Trajano @elborgo9 @das_shield Anthony Blazevich biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

How hard is it to do science in a language that’s not your first language? We quantified the severity of #languagebarriers for non-native English speakers when reading/publishing papers and attending/presenting at international conferences. doi.org/10.1371/journa… 1/9
