First Evidences of the Point‐Light Display Observation Methodology in Multi‐Pathology Care: A Retrospective Analysis

Health Science Reports
Background and Aim This study aims to retrospectively assess the point‐light display (PLD) action observation methodology, in order to explore the effect of action observation treatment (AOT) for locomotion rehabilitation in aged patients at risk of ...

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 ...

Calpain small subunit homodimerization is robust and calcium‐independent

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Calpains dimerize via penta‐EF‐hand (PEF) domains. Using single‐molecule force spectroscopy, we measured the strength and kinetics of PEF–PEF homodimer binding. The interaction is robust, shows a transient conformational step before dissociation, and remains largely insensitive to Ca2+.

Combined non-invasive neuromodulation using transcranial direct current stimulation, motor imagery and action observation for motor, cognitive and functional recovery in cortico-basal degeneration

EXCLI Journal : Experimental and Clinical Sciences
This case report presents a comprehensive assessment and therapeutic intervention using non-invasive motor cortex neuromodulation for a 70-year-old female patient diagnosed with corticobasal degeneration (CBD). The study followed the CARE guidelines. The

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 ...

Structural insights into an engineered feruloyl esterase with improved MHET degrading properties

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
A feruloyl esterase was engineered to mimic key features of MHETase, enhancing the degradation of PET oligomers. Structural and computational analysis reveal how a point mutation stabilizes the active site and reshapes the binding cleft, expading substrate scope.

Mirroring cannot account for understanding action [PDF]

, 2008
Susan Hurley's shared circuits model (SCM) rightly begins in action and progresses through a series of layers; but it fails to reach action understanding because it relies on mirroring as a driving force, draws on heavily criticized theories, and ...

The effect of action observation and motor imagery on jumping and perceived performance

Frontiers in Psychology
IntroductionAction observation (AO) and motor imagery (MI) are cognitive processes that involve mentally rehearsing and simulating movements without physically performing them.

Brain Activation of Elite Race Walkers in Action Observation, Motor Imagery, and Motor Execution Tasks: A Pilot Study

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2019
Walking plays an important role in human daily life. Many previous studies suggested that long-term walking training can modulate brain functions. However, due to the use of measuring techniques such as fMRI and PET, which are highly motion-sensitive, it
