Subtype-specific plasticity of inhibitory circuits in motor cortex during motor learning. [PDF]
Motor skill learning induces long-lasting reorganization of dendritic spines, principal sites of excitatory synapses, in the motor cortex. However, mechanisms that regulate these excitatory synaptic changes remain poorly understood.

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 ...

The functional consequences of chronic, physiologically effective intracortical microstimulation
Many studies have demonstrated the ability of chronically implanted multielectrode arrays (MEAs) to extract information from the motor cortex of both humans and nonhuman primates. Similarly, many studies have shown the ability of intracortical microstimulation to impart information to the brain via a single or a few electrodes acutely implanted in ...

Together, an earlier pilot study and the current confirmatory study show that an autologous cellular therapy promotes beneficial, significant enhancement of manual dexterity recovery after lesion of the primary motor cortex. ABSTRACT Introduction A pilot study provided preliminary evidence indicating that peri‐lesional adult autologous neural cell ...

Topography of supplementary eye field afferents to frontal eye field in macaque: Implications for mapping between saccade coordinate systems [PDF]
Two discrete areas in frontal cortex are involved in generating saccadic eye movements—the frontal eye field (FEF) and the supplementary eye field (SEF).

Implantable Neural Probes for Brain-Machine Interfaces - Current Developments and Future Prospects [PDF]
A Brain-Machine interface (BMI) allows for direct communication between the brain and machines. Neural probes for recording neural signals are among the essential components of a BMI system. In this report, we review research regarding implantable neural

Excitability to long‐train intracortical microstimulation in the primary somatosensory cortex after recovery from long‐term sensory loss tended to be altered but was not statistically different from that of normal and intact hemispheres. Cortical connection patterns of areas 3b and M1 were consistent with early findings, characterized by the presence ...

Rewiring of the corticospinal tract in the adult rat after unilateral stroke and anti-Nogo-A therapy [PDF]
The adult CNS has limited potential for functional recovery after structural lesions. Lindau et al. report that a blocking antibody to the neurite-growth inhibitory protein Nogo-A improved functional recovery in a rat sensorimotor cortex stroke model ...

Abiotic-biotic characterization of Pt/Ir microelectrode arrays in chronic implants [PDF]
Pt/Ir electrodes have been extensively used in neurophysiology research in recent years as they provide a more inert recording surface as compared to tungsten or stainless steel.
