Spinally targeted paired associative stimulation with high-frequency peripheral component induces spinal level plasticity in healthy subjects [PDF]

Scientific Reports
A novel variant of paired-associative stimulation (PAS) consisting of high-frequency peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS) and high-intensity transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) above the motor cortex, called high-PAS, can lead to improved motor ...

18q12.3‐q21.1 microdeletion detected in the prenatally alcohol‐exposed dizygotic twin with discordant fetal alcohol syndrome phenotype [PDF]

Molecular Genetics & Genomic Medicine, 2020
Background A pair of dizygotic twins discordantly affected by heavy prenatal alcohol exposure (PAE) was reported previously by Riikonen, suggesting the role of genetic risk or protective factors in the etiology of alcohol‐induced developmental disorders.

Older Age Increases the Amplitude of Muscle Stretch-Induced Cortical Beta-Band Suppression But Does not Affect Rebound Strength [PDF]

Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience, 2020
Healthy aging is associated with deterioration of the sensorimotor system, which impairs balance and somatosensation. However, the exact age-related changes in the cortical processing of sensorimotor integration are unclear.

Optical genome mapping unveils hidden structural variants in neurodevelopmental disorders [PDF]

Scientific Reports
While short-read sequencing currently dominates genetic research and diagnostics, it frequently falls short of capturing certain structural variants (SVs), which are often implicated in the etiology of neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs).

Effect of bar jump height on kinetics and kinematics of take-off in agility dogs. [PDF]

PLoS ONE
Sport-related injuries have been reported to occur in around one-third of agility dogs. Higher bar height in competitions has been shown to increase odds of an injury.

Effect of static stretching duration on modulation of H-reflex and tendon-reflex excitability of the soleus muscle in young men. [PDF]

Physiol Rep
Abstract Stretching‐induced impairments of muscle performance are attributed to neural adaptations and mechanical changes. Inhibition of muscle spindle sensitivity appears to have long‐lasting effects after stretching. However, whether a dose–response relationship exists between stretching duration and muscle spindle sensitivity remains unclear.

Mosaic KRAS Mutation in Schimmelpenning-Feuerstein-Mims Syndrome With Overlapping Oculoectodermal Syndrome and Encephalocraniocutaneous Lipomatosis Features. [PDF]

Pediatr Dermatol
ABSTRACT We report a patient with clinically confirmed Schimmelpenning–Feuerstein–Mims (SFM) syndrome but many overlapping features with oculoectodermal syndrome (OES) and encephalocraniocutaneous lipomatosis (ECCL). Whole exome sequencing revealed a mosaic KRAS c.436G>A, p.(Ala146Thr) mutation, previously identified in three OES and ECCL patients ...
