Automatic imitation of biomechanically possible and impossible actions: effects of priming movements versus goals [PDF]

, 2008
Recent behavioral, neuroimaging, and neurophysiological research suggests a common representational code mediating the observation and execution of actions; yet, the nature of this representational code is not well understood.

Visuomotor paired associative stimulation enhances corticospinal excitability in post-stroke patients with upper-limb hemiparesis

Scientific Reports
We assess the effectiveness of a visuomotor paired associative stimulation (vm-PAS) protocol targeting the Action Observation Network (AON) in chronic post-stroke patients with upper-limb mild hemiparesis.

The planar cell polarity protein Vangl2 interacts with the PDZ‐domains of Scribble but not with a unique PDZ‐like domain in Inturned

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Structural and biochemical characterisations show that the planar cell polarity (PCP) protein Inturned harbours a unique PDZ‐like domain that does not bind canonical PDZ‐binding motifs (PBMs) like that of another PCP protein Vangl2. In contrast, the apical‐basal polarity protein Scribble contains four PDZ domains that bind Vangl2, but one PDZ domain ...

Excitability Changes in the Human Primary Motor Cortex During Observation with Motor Imagery of Chopstick Use [PDF]

, 2011
[Purpose] The aim of this study was to investigate whether the performance of a combination of observation and motor imagery of chopstick use (complex task) increased corticospinal excitability more than the performance of observation alone.

Translating novel findings of perceptual-motor codes into the neuro-rehabilitation of movement disorders

Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2015
The bidirectional flow of perceptual and motor information has recently proven useful as rehabilitative tool for re-building motor memories. We analyzed how the visual-motor approach has been successfully applied in neurorehabilitation, leading to ...

Tau acetylation at K331 has limited impact on tau pathology in vivo

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We mapped tau post‐translational modifications in humanized MAPT knock‐in mice and in amyloid‐bearing double knock‐in mice. Acetylation within the repeat domain, particularly around K331, showed modest increases under amyloid pathology. To test functional relevance, we generated MAPTK331Q knock‐in mice.

Dissociating dynamic probability and predictability in observed actions – an fMRI study

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2014
The present fMRI study investigated whether human observers spontaneously exploit the statistical structure underlying continuous action sequences. In particular, we tested whether two different statistical properties can be distinguished with regard to ...
