Detection of Rhythmic Synchronized Double Neuronal Discharges & Bursting Rate Variability Assessment
/
Bursting neurons play an important role in motor pattern synchronization and neuronal communication resulting in the ability to coordinate muscles across large anatomical distances. Such synchronization among multiple motor units is revealed by rhythmic surface electromyographic (sEMG) activity along paraspinal muscles.
