A '''depolarizing pre-pulse (DPP)''' is an electrical stimulus that causes the [[Voltage|potential difference]] measured across a [[neuron]]al [[Cell membrane|membrane]] to become more positive or less negative, and precedes another electrical stimulus.<ref name=Grill>{{cite journal |doi=10.1109/51.395310 |author=Grill WM, Mortimer JT |title=Stimulus waveforms for selective neural stimulation |journal=IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Magazine |volume=14 |issue=4 |pages=375–385 |year=1995}}</ref>  DPPs may be of either the voltage or current stimulus variety and have been used to inhibit neural activity,<ref name=Grill /> selectively excite neurons,<ref name=Grill2 /> and increase the pain threshold associated with electrocutaneous stimulation.<ref name=Poletto />
 
==Biophysical mechanisms==
 
===Hodgkin–Huxley model===
 
[[Image:Hodgkin Huxley H and M Gate Model Na Channel.PNG|right|thumb|upright=1.5|An illustration of the standard Hodgkin–Huxley Na<sup>+</sup> channel model]]

Typical [[action potential]]s are initiated by voltage gated [[sodium channel]]s.  As the [[Membrane potential|transmembrane voltage]] is increased the probability that a given voltage gated sodium channel is open is increased, thus enabling an influx of Na<sup>+</sup> ions.  Once the sodium inflow becomes greater than the potassium outflow, a [[positive feedback]] loop of sodium entry is closed and thus an action potential is fired.
 
In the early 1950s Drs. [[Alan Lloyd Hodgkin|Hodgkin]] and [[Andrew Huxley|Huxley]] performed experiments on the giant axon of the squid, and in the process developed a model for sodium channel conductance. It was found that the conductance may be expressed as:
 
: <math>{g}_{Na^+} = \bar{g}_{Na^+} m^3h,</math>
 
where <math>\bar{g}_{Na^+}</math> is the maximum sodium conductance, ''m'' is the activation gate, and ''h'' is the inactivation gate (both gates are shown in the image to the right).<ref name=Hodgkin>{{cite journal |author=Hodgkin AL, Huxley AF |title=A quantitative description of ion currents and its applications to conduction and excitation in nerve membranes |journal=The Journal of Physiology |volume=117 |issue=4 |pages=500–544 |year=1952 |pmid=12991237 |pmc=1392413}}</ref> The values of ''m'' and ''h'' vary between 0 and 1, depending upon the transmembrane potential.
 
[[Image:Depolarizing Prepulse.PNG|left|thumb|upright=2|Transmembrane voltage response of a space-clamped mammalian [[Nodes of Ranvier|node of Ranvier]]]]
 
As the [[Membrane potential|transmembrane potential]] rises, the value of ''m'' increases, thus increasing the probability that the activation gate will be open.  And as the transmembrane potential drops, the value of ''h'' increases, along with the probability that the inactivation gate will be open. The rate of change for an ''h'' gate is much slower than that of an ''m'' gate, therefore if one precedes a sub-threshold voltage stimulation with a [[Hyperpolarization (biology)|hyperpolarizing]] pre-pulse, the value of ''h'' may be temporarily increased, enabling the neuron to fire an action potential.
 
Vice versa, if one precedes a supra-threshold voltage stimulation with a [[Depolarization|depolarizing]] pre-pulse, the value of ''h'' may be temporarily reduced, enabling the inhibition of the neuron. An illustration of how the transmembrane voltage response to a supra-threshold stimulus may differ, based upon the presence of a depolarizing pre-pulse, may be observed in the image to the left.
 
The Hodgkin–Huxley model is slightly inaccurate as it fudges over some dependencies, for example the inactivation gate should not be able to close unless the activation gate is open and the inactivation gate, once closed, is located inside the [[cell membrane]] where it cannot be directly affected by the transmembrane potential.<ref name=Dayan>{{cite book |last1=Dayan |first1=Peter |last2=Abbott |first2=Larry |title=Theoretical Neuroscience |year=2001 |publisher=The MIT Press |location=Cambridge, Massachusetts |isbn=0-262-04199-5}}</ref> However, this model is useful for gaining a high level understanding of hyperpolarizing and depolarizing pre-pulses.
 
===Voltage-gated sodium channel===
 
[[File:Sodium-channel.svg|thumb|500px|Diagram of a voltage-sensitive sodium channel &alpha;-subunit. G - [[glycosylation]], P - [[phosphorylation]], S - ion selectivity, I - inactivation, positive (+) charges in S4 are important for transmembrane voltage sensing.]]
 
Over the fifty odd years since the [[Hodgkin–Huxley model]] was first proposed we have learned much concerning the structure and functionality of voltage gated [[sodium channel]]s. Although the exact three dimensional structure of the [[sodium channel]] remains unknown, we have determined its composition and the functionality of individual components. Voltage gated sodium channels are large, [[Protein subunit|multimeric]] complexes, composed of a single α subunit and one or more β subunits, an illustration of which may be observed in the image to the right.  The α subunit folds into four homologous domains, each of which contain six α-[[Helix|helical]] transmembrane segments.<ref name=Catterall>{{cite journal |doi=10.1016/S0896-6273(00)81133-2 |author=Catterall WA |title=From ionic currents to molecular mechanisms: the structure and function of voltage-gated sodium channels |journal=Neuron |volume=26 |issue=1 |pages=13–25 |year=2000 |pmid=10798388}}</ref> The S<sub>4</sub> segments of each domain serve as voltage sensors for activation. Each S<sub>4</sub> segment consists of a repeating structure of one positively charged [[Residue (chemistry)|residue]] and two [[Hydrophobe|hydrophobic]] residues, and these combine to form a helical arrangement.  When the channel is [[Depolarization|depolarized]] these S<sub>4</sub> segments undergo a conformational change that widens the helical arrangement and opens the sodium-channel [[Ion channel pore|pore]].  Within milliseconds after the pore’s opening, the intracellular loop that connects domains III and IV, binds to the channel’s intracellular pore, inactivating the channel.<ref name=Yu>{{cite journal |doi=10.1186/gb-2003-4-3-207 |author=Yu FH, Catterall WA |title=Overview of the voltage-gated sodium channel family |journal=Genome Biology |volume=4 |issue=3 |pages=207 |year=2003 |pmid=12620097 |pmc=153452}}</ref>  Thus, by providing a depolarizing pre-pulse before a stimulus, we increase the probability that the inactivating domains of the sodium channels have bound to their respective pores, reducing the stimulus induced sodium influx and the influence of the stimulus.
 
==Depolarizing pre-pulse properties==
 
===DPP duration===
 
The relationship between the DPP duration and neuronal recruitment is as follows. If the duration of the DPP is relatively short, i.e. much less than 100 μs, then the threshold of excitation for the surrounding nerves will be decreased as opposed to increased. Possibly resulting from the depolarization of the S<sub>4</sub> segments and the little time given for inactivation. For long duration DPP’s the III and IV domains of the sodium channels (discussed above) are given more time to bind with their respective channel pores, thus the threshold current is observed to increase with an increasing DPP duration.<ref name=Grill2 />
 
===DPP amplitude===
 
As the DPP amplitude is increased from zero to near threshold, the resulting increase in threshold current will grow as well.<ref name=Grill2 /><ref name=Vuckovic>{{cite journal |doi=10.1088/1741-2560/5/3/002 |author=Vuckovic A, Tosato M, Struijk JJ |title=A comparative study of three techniques for diameter selective fiber activation in the vagal nerve: anodal block, depolarizing prepulses and slowly rising pulses |volume=5 |issue=3 |pages=275–286 |journal=Journal of Neural Engineering |year=2008 |pmid=18566504}}</ref> This is because the higher amplitude activates more sodium channels, thus allowing more channels to become inactivated by their III and IV domains.
 
===DPP inter-phase delay===
 
An increase in the delay between the DPP and the stimulus provides more time during which the sodium channel S<sub>4</sub> segments may close and the III and IV domains may detach themselves from their respective pores. Thus, an increase in the DPP inter-phase delay will reduce the effective increase in threshold current, induced by the DPP.<ref name=Grill2 />
 
==Depolarizing pre-pulse applications==
 
===Elevating pain thresholds===
 
One immediate application for [[Depolarization|depolarizing]] pre-pulses, explored by Drs. Poletto and Van Doren, is to elevate the pain thresholds associated with electrocutaneous stimulation.<ref name=Poletto>{{cite journal |doi=10.1109/TBME.2002.803563 |author=Poletto CJ, Van Doren CL |title=Elevating Pain Thresholds in Humans Using Depolarizing Prepulses |journal=IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Engineering |volume=49 |issue=10 |pages=1221–1224 |year=2002 |pmid=12374350}}</ref> Electrocutaneous stimulation possesses a great deal of potential as a mechanism for the conveyance of additional sensory information.  Hence, this method of stimulation may be directly applied to fields such as [[virtual reality]], [[sensory substitution]], and sensory augmentation However, many of these applications require the use of small [[Multielectrode array|electrode arrays]], stimulation through which is often painful, thus limiting the usefulness of this technology. The experimental setup, constructed by Drs. Poletto and Van Doren, was as follows:
 
[[Image:Poletto 2002 pain plot 2.PNG|right|thumb|upright=2|Mean Proportions of Stimuli Perceived as Painful v. Stimulus Pre-Pulse]]
 
*4 human subjects, each of which had demonstrated the ability to provide reliable pain judgments in previous studies
*left middle finger rests on a 1&nbsp;mm diameter polished stainless steel disk [[electrode]]s
*a single stimulus consisted of a burst of three identical pre-pulse and stim-pulse pairs, presented at the beginning, middle, and end of a 1 second interval
*the pre-pulse and stim-pulse widths were matched at a duration of 10 milliseconds so that the thresholds would be the same for both
*used varying pre-pulse amplitudes of 0%, 79%, 63%, 50%, 40%, and 32% so as to study their influence over the pain experienced
*the experiments were conducted in such a way that the stimulus, without a pre-pulse was painful for about half of the time; this was achieved by stepping the stim-pulse amplitude up and down for the next trial, based upon whether it was reported as painful
 
Their results demonstrated that a pre-pulse before a stimulus pulse effectively reduces the probability that pain will be experienced due to electrocutaneous stimulation. Surprisingly enough, a pre-pulse of 32% of the amplitude of the stimulus pulse was able to nearly half the probability of experiencing pain. Therefore in environments in which the pain threshold is difficult to discern, it may be sufficient to deliver a relatively low amplitude pre-pulse before the stimulus to achieve the desired effects.
 
===Nerve fiber recruitment order===
 
[[Image:Nerve Fiber Recruitment Inversion Plot.png|left|thumb|upright=1.6|Based upon the data presented in<ref name=Grill2 />]]
 
In addition to inhibiting neural excitability, it has been observed that preceding an electrical stimulus with a depolarizing pre-pulse allows one to invert the current-distance relationship controlling [[Axon|nerve fiber]] recruitment, where the current-distance relationship describes how the threshold current for nerve fiber excitation is proportional to the square of the distance between the nerve fiber and the electrode.<ref name=Grill2 />  Therefore, if the region of influence for the depolarizing pre-pulse is less than that for the stimulus, the nerve fibers closer to the electrode will experience a greater increase in their threshold current for excitation. Thus, provided such a stimulus, the nerve fibers closest to the electrode may be inhibited, while those further away may be excited.<ref name=Grill2>{{cite journal |doi=10.1109/10.553708 |author=Grill WM, Mortimer JT |title=Inversion of the current-distance relationship by transient depolarization |volume=44 |issue=1 |pages=1–9 |journal=IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Engineering |year=1997 |pmid=9214779}}</ref><ref name=Deurloo>{{cite journal |doi=10.1007/s004220100253 |author=Deurloo KEI, Holsheimer J, Bergveld P |title=The effect of subthreshold prepulses on the recruitment order in a nerve trunk analyzed in a simple and realistic volume conductor model |volume=85 |issue=4 |pages=281–291 |journal=Biological Cybernetics |year=2001 |pmid=11592625}}</ref> A simulation of this stimulation, constructed by Drs. Warren Grill and J. Thomas Mortimer, may be observed in the image to the left.  Building upon this, a stimulus with two depolarizing pre-pulses, each of an amplitude slightly below the threshold current (at the time of delivery), should increase the radii of influence for nearby nerve fiber inactivation and distant nevre fiber excitation.
 
Typically, nerve fibers of a larger diameter may be activated by single-pulse stimuli of a lower intensity, and thus may be recruited more readily.<ref name=Grill /><ref name=Grill2 /><ref name=Hennings>{{cite journal |doi=10.1016/j.clinph.2006.10.017 |author=Hennings K, Kamavuako EN, Farina D |title=The recruitment order of electrically activated motor neurons investigated with a novel collision technique |volume=118 |issue=2 |pages=283–291 |journal=Clinical Neurophysiology |year=2007 |pmid=17174598}}</ref> However, DPPs have demonstrated the additional capability to invert this recruitment order.  As electrical stimuli have a greater effect over nerve fibers of a larger diameter, DPPs will in turn cause a larger degree of sodium conductance inactivation within such nerve fibers, thus nerve fibers of a smaller diameter will have a lower threshold current.

When thinking about flexibility, a lot of people who speak to a personal trainer from Huntington Beach will talk about performing splits or remarkable activities and won't aware of the fact that there are many adaptability elements that have to be known. It's a well-known fact that versatility could be improved but this is not always the situation with many elements. By looking at anatomical elasticity factors we could understand what can be worked on and what cannot through constant exercises.

Anatomical Elasticity Elements

Bones are normally stated when debating about flexibility because a lack of versatility will normally harm bones. They are enclosed by articular cartilage and synovial membranes. Those will nourish and bolster your bones. When you acquire muscular flexibility in the movement length of a joint, elasticity is enhanced.

Ligaments

Ligaments are composed of two tissues: yellow and white. You need to comprehend that white tissues cannot extend however they are really effective. Even ugg boots usa if you are faced with a bone break, tissue will remain unharmed. White tissue gives you subjective action liberty. Yellow flexible tissue is stretchable and could stretch greatly while at the same time being able to go back to original size.

Areolar Cells

The personal trainer from Huntington Beach will seldom be asked about this factor but it's one that could be crucial. Areolar cells is always permeable and significantly distributed in your system. That is mainly a cell that could function as other tissue binder.

Muscles

When pertaining to elasticity, muscles are normally brought into the conversation. Contrary to popular theory, they cannot expand because they are not elastic. We could categorize muscles as connective tissues. It is responsible for supporting, holding and surrounding muscle mass. Normal ligament involves non flexible and flexible tissues but tendons do not.

Muscle Fibers
Your tendon is composed of muscle cell, which is flexible.

Stretch Receptors

Generally only the personal trainer from Huntington Beach will describe stretch receptors simply because people today don't even know that they exist. A stretch receptor is made out of two elements: Golgi muscles and Spindle tissues. The Spindle cells are situated in the middle of the tendon and send messages so that your muscle could contract. Golgi muscles are receptors are situated at the end part of the muscle tissue. It will send messages to ensure the muscles could relax. Receptors would be practiced by using them consistently so that stretching will become less difficult.

It is usually essential to take all those elements into consideration. Our recommendation is to talk with a really good personal trainer in Huntington Beach in order that you will properly understand how you should improve flexibility.
Simply by studying the phrases above you will notice that there are elements that you probably didn't know about till today. Consider the fact that the details you get from the personal trainer is a lot vaster and there are so many other mistakes that you could find yourself doing without even realizing that they are errors.

Personal Trainer Huntington Beach Tips: Comprehending The Benefits Of Strength Training

The personal trainer in Huntington Beach normally has to talk about the many advantages of resistance training because most people don't really understand what they get into. There's this popular opinion that this exercise plan will make strong muscles but this is actually not correct.

Addititionally http://tinyurl.com/pch83be there is the advantage of an enhanced bone density. Normally the personal trainer from Huntington Beach deals with individuals who start exercising to be able to enhance personal appeal.

The men will improve big muscles but the females cannot because they lack of testo-sterone. However, a lady can quickly build-up a toned, strong physique and maximize strength in a similar part with what men develop. Individual genetics will dictate strength training stimuli reaction to some degree.

Basal Metabolism

You are going to notice that your basal metabolism will maximize as muscle mass raises. A personal trainer from Huntington Beach will highlight this factor as it immediately produces the promotion of fat burning on a long term basis. You may actually stay away from yo-yo dieting due to this. The severe exercise will certainly improve your metabolic rate for many hours following the workout is complete. This will increase weight loss potential.

Useful Advantages

Weight training allows you http://tinyurl.com/pch83be to get much stronger body and that will develop your attitude, offer better joint support as well as minimize accident risk while performing regular, daily tasks. Much older individuals are suggested to speak to a personal trainer in Huntington Beach so as to hinder muscle tissue loss that's usual during aging. Even functional intensity could be renewed. You could actually prevent several physical disabilities which sometimes show up while being able to vigorously prevent osteoporosis.

Fast Recovery

When you're in rehabilitation or you have to deal with a disability including orthopedic operation and stroke, weight training is definitely an important aspect in optimizing the recovery of weaker muscles. If you are afflicted by this sort of illness, a proper, certified personal trainer from Huntington Beach that is specialized in recuperation has to be consulted. Physiotherapists will be preferred.
