Multimodal neuroimaging of fatigability development.

ABSTRACT: Fatigability refers to the inability of the neuromuscular system to generate enough force to produce movements to meet task challenges. Fatigability has a central and a peripheral component linked via the neuromuscular system, but how these two components interact as fatigue develops lacks a complete understanding. The effects of fatigability are experienced in healthy humans but also accompany various disorders, often exacerbating their symptoms. We studied how fatigability develops in the neuromuscular system using multimodal neuroimaging. We recruited healthy participants to perform a fatiguing grip force task, while recording force, electromyography of forearm muscles (EMG), electroencephalography (EEG), and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) in 30-second blocks of grip task
