Human Gait Entrainment to Periodic Neuro-Mechanical Perturbations: An Emerging Approach to Understanding Locomotion

open access: yesIEEE Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering
Human gait is a highly complex, rhythmic behavior which is known to synchronize to external rhythms. Entrainment is a specific form of synchronization wherein the frequency of a nonlinear limit-cycle oscillator converges to that of an external periodic ...

Plastic vasomotion entrainment

open access: yeseLife, 2023
Abstract The presence of global synchronization of vasomotion induced by oscillating visual stimuli was identified in the mouse brain. Endogenous autofluorescence was used and the vessel “shadow” was quantified to evaluate the magnitude of the frequency-locked vasomotion.

Experimental study on entrainment of large wood in lowland rivers [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Wood transport in rivers, typically occurring during flood events, represents a relevant hazard for its potential to create obstruction at bridges and narrow cross-sections.

The Mind From Within: Visceral Roots of Human Cognition

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
The physiological activity of visceral organs, such as the heart, the lungs, and the gut, is surprisingly linked to many sophisticated mental operations, such as remembering the past, being aware of ourselves, making choices, and forging social bonds.

Remote Magnetomechanical Neuromodulation Uncovers Therapeutic Mechanisms for Alleviating Parkinsonian Symptoms in Freely Moving Mice

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Magnetomechanical neuromodulation using magnetic nanodiscs enables remote activation of neurons. In a hemiparkinsonian mouse model, alternating magnetic fields actuate the nanodiscs to generate torque that opens mechanosensitive ion channels within the subthalamic nucleus, thereby modulating basal ganglia motor circuitry.

Cortical Entrainment to Continuous Speech: Functional Roles and Interpretations

open access: yesFrontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2014
Auditory cortical activity is entrained to the temporal envelope of speech, which corresponds to the syllabic rhythm of speech. Such entrained cortical activity can be measured from subjects naturally listening to sentences or spoken passages, and ...
