Neural Feedback Loop
06:00 - 15:04 (09:03)
A neural feedback loop may be responsible for delayed muscle soreness rather than muscle damage. Researchers at Stanford are studying pain from both a cellular and molecular side, and a psychological side to understand how our understanding and belief about pain shapes our experience of it.

This episode explains the gait theory of pain and how the body responds to pain by inhibiting the fibers that control the pain signal.

Summary
This episode explains the gait theory of pain and how the body responds to pain by inhibiting the fibers that control the pain signal. It also suggests that delayed onset muscle soreness may be a neural feedback loop rather than actual muscle damage.

The stretch-shortening cycle is a physiological response within muscles where the muscle fibers contract in response to being stretched, helping to prevent us from falling or losing balance.

Summary
The stretch-shortening cycle is a physiological response within muscles where the muscle fibers contract in response to being stretched, helping to prevent us from falling or losing balance. This is an innate response that occurs when an Alpha motor unit innervates the muscle fibers and tells them to contract.
