  "summary": "The contribution of persistent inward currents (PICs) to spinal motor neurons discharge rate is lower in old compared to young adults. However, whether this difference further progresses at very old age ([≥]80 years) and differs between males and females remains unknown. Thirty young (26 {+/-} 4 years, 15 females), thirty old (72 {+/-} 5 years, 15 females) and twenty-nine very old adults (85…",
