Restoring the encoding properties of a stochastic neuron model by an exogenous noise [PDF]
Here we evaluate the possibility of improving the encoding properties of an impaired neuronal system by superimposing an exogenous noise to an external electric stimulation signal. The approach is based on the use of mathematical neuron models consisting

Ventral Premotor-Motor Cortex Interactions in the Macaque Monkey during Grasp: Response of Single Neurons to Intracortical Microstimulation [PDF]
Recent stimulation studies in monkeys and humans have shown strong interactions between ventral premotor cortex (area F5) and the hand area of primary motor cortex (M1).

Microelectrode array recordings from the ventral roots in chronically implanted cats [PDF]
ventral spinal roots contain the axons of spinal motoneurons and provide the only location in the peripheral nervous system where recorded neural activity can be assured to be motor rather than sensory.

Mapping quantal touch using 7 Tesla functional magnetic resonance imaging and single-unit intraneural microstimulation. [PDF]
Using ultra-high field 7 Tesla (7T) functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), we map the cortical and perceptual responses elicited by intraneural microstimulation (INMS) of single mechanoreceptive afferent units in the median nerve, in humans ...

A robot hand testbed designed for enhancing embodiment and functional neurorehabilitation of body schema in subjects with upper limb impairment or loss. [PDF]
Many upper limb amputees experience an incessant, post-amputation "phantom limb pain" and report that their missing limbs feel paralyzed in an uncomfortable posture.

Estimation of electrode location in a rat motor cortex by laminar analysis of electrophysiology and intracortical electrical stimulation [PDF]
While the development of microelectrode arrays has enabled access to disparate regions of a cortex for neurorehabilitation, neuroprosthetic and basic neuroscience research, accurate interpretation of the signals and manipulation of the cortical neurons ...

Frontal eye field, where art thou? Anatomy, function, and non-invasive manipulation of frontal regions involved in eye movements and associated cognitive operations [PDF]
The planning, control and execution of eye movements in 3D space relies on a distributed system of cortical and subcortical brain regions. Within this network, the Eye Fields have been described in animals as cortical regions in which electrical ...

Changes in Spinal Neural Circuit Plasticity in a Rat Sciatic Nerve Transection Model
Following sciatic nerve transection (SNT), corticospinal tract (CST) labeling in the lumbar gray matter remained unchanged, whereas motor neurons showed soma atrophy with reduced perisomatic vesicular glutamate transporter 1 (vGlut1) and vesicular acetylcholine transporter (vAchT) inputs.
