Faster top running speeds are achieved with greater ground forces not more rapid leg movements

…, DB Sternlight, MJ Bellizzi… - Journal of applied …, 2000 - journals.physiology.org
We twice tested the hypothesis that top running speeds are determined by the amount of
force applied to the ground rather than how rapidly limbs are repositioned in the air. First, we …

Complement-dependent synapse loss and microgliosis in a mouse model of multiple sclerosis

JW Hammond, MJ Bellizzi, C Ware, WQ Qiu… - Brain, behavior, and …, 2020 - Elsevier
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an inflammatory, neurodegenerative disease of the CNS characterized

Protecting the synapse: evidence for a rational strategy to treat HIV-1 associated neurologic disease

MJ Bellizzi, SM Lu, HA Gelbard - Journal of Neuroimmune Pharmacology, 2006 - Springer
Loss of synaptic integrity and function appears to underlie neurologic deficits in patients with
HIV-1-associated dementia (HAD) and other chronic neurodegenerative diseases. Because …

Platelet-activating factor receptors mediate excitatory postsynaptic hippocampal injury in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis

MJ Bellizzi, JS Geathers, KC Allan… - Journal of …, 2016 - Soc Neuroscience
Gray matter degeneration contributes to progressive disability in multiple sclerosis (MS) and
can occur out of proportion to measures of white matter disease. Although white matter …

Does the application of ground force set the energetic cost of cross-country skiing?

MJ Bellizzi, KAD King, SK Cushman… - Journal of applied …, 1998 - journals.physiology.org
We tested whether the rate at which force is applied to the ground sets metabolic rates during
classical-style roller skiing in four ways:1) by increasing speed (from 2.5 to 4.5 m/s) during …
