About CJ Heckman

CJ Heckman, With an exceptional h-index of 59 and a recent h-index of 38 (since 2020), a distinguished researcher at North Western University, specializes in the field of Neuroscience.

His recent articles reflect a diverse array of research interests and contributions to the field:

Muscle spasms after spinal cord injury stem from changes in motoneuron excitability and synaptic inhibition, not synaptic excitation

Voluntary co-contraction of ankle muscles alters motor unit discharge characteristics and reduces estimates of persistent inward currents

Estimates of persistent inward currents in lower limb motoneurons are larger in females than in males

Motor unit firing rate modulation is more impaired during flexion synergy-driven contractions of the biceps brachii in chronic stroke

Mitigating aberrant Cdk5 activation alleviates mitochondrial defects and motor neuron disease symptoms in spinal muscular atrophy

A geometric approach to quantifying the neuromodulatory effects of persistent inward currents on individual motor unit discharge patterns

Multimodal Parameter Inference for a Canonical Motor Microcircuit Controlling Rat Hindlimb Motion

GABA Increases Sensory Transmission In Monkeys
