Gravity‐Dependent Modulation of Downbeat Nystagmus: Insights From Velocity‐Storage Dysfunction

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Downbeat nystagmus varies with head position, a phenomenon termed gravity‐dependent modulation. We aimed to clarify its mechanism using a velocity‐storage model. Methods In 10 patients with downbeat nystagmus due to cerebellar disorders, we recorded eye movements at different pitch‐ and roll‐axis head positions.

Temporal Interference Stimulation of Centromedian‐Parafascicular Complex in Disorders of Consciousness: A Pilot Study

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Treatment of disorders of consciousness (DoC) remains a major clinical challenge, and noninvasive, targeted modulation of deep brain structures has emerged as a promising therapeutic strategy. We aimed to evaluate the feasibility/safety and preliminary effects of thalamic temporal interference stimulation (TIS) targeting centromedian‐

Physicians and the Animal-Rights Movement

New England Journal of Medicine, 1991
THE current animal-rights movement threatens the future of health science far more than many physicians recognize. The movement is no fringe group of fanatics who cannot have a serious effect on the real world. It is led by politically shrewd people who have built a powerful machine opposed to all animal studies in the life sciences.

Muscles and animal movement

2021
This chapter assesses muscular systems and animal locomotion. Animal movement and behaviour in the environment is powered by the pulling force produced by contracting muscles. The contractile apparatus in all muscles consists of myofibrils made up of myosin-containing and actin-containing filaments.

Of scales and stationarity in animal movements

Ecology Letters, 2013
AbstractWith recent technological advances in tracking devices, movements of numerous animal species can be recorded with a high resolution over large spatial and temporal ranges. This opens promising perspectives for understanding how an animal perceives and reacts to the multi‐scale structure of its environment.

Movement and Animation

2018
This chapter (“Movement and Animation”) examines the fundamental structures of self-movement and external movement perception. It considers the centrality of movement to animacy and the perception of animacy in living and non-living elements of one’s environment.

Control of Movement Patterns in Animals

Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, 1969
As a more junior Fellow of the same college in Cambridge as Sir Frederic Bartlett, I am especially glad of this opportunity to join with members of the Experimental Psychology Society in honouring him. It would be superfluous for me to speak here of Sir Frederic's academic achievements: so many of our members are engaged in research on problems which ...

Hydrodynamics of animal movement

1992
Abstract All organisms, whether plant or animal, terrestrial or aquatic, sessile or freely moving, large or small, experience now of fluid over and through external and internal structures. This flow can be an unwanted consequence of some other process that induces the flow, or generated purposefully for functional mechanisms. The forces

Movement, Animation, and Intentionality

2023
Abstract Chapter 6 returns to the issue of lifelikeness and animation, to untangle a few strands in the varieties of human-thing entanglement discussed here in the light of recent research inspired by the Uncanny. Drawing on the research into perceptual attribution mechanisms by Albert Michotte, Fritz Heider, and Marianne Simmel, and ...
