Visual feedback alters force control and functional activity in the visuomotor network after stroke. [PDF]
, 2018 Modulating visual feedback may be a viable option to improve motor function after stroke, but the neurophysiological basis for this improvement is not clear.

Explosive Strength Modeling in Children: Trends According to Growth and Prediction Equation
Applied Sciences, 2020 Lower limb explosive strength has been widely used to evaluate physical fitness and general health in children. A plethora of studies have scoped the practicality of the standing broad jump (SBJ), though without accounting for body dimensions, which are ...

State Variables of the Arm May Be Encoded by Single Neuron Activity in the Monkey Motor Cortex [PDF]
, 2016 Revealing the type of information encoded by neurons activity in the motor cortex is essential not only for understanding the mechanism of motion control but also for developing a brain-machine interface.

Prismatic adaptation modulates oscillatory EEG correlates of motor preparation but not visual attention in healthy participants [PDF]
, 2017 Prismatic adaption (PA) has been proposed as a tool to induce neural plasticity and is used to help neglect rehabilitation. It leads to a recalibration of visuo-motor coordination during pointing as well as to after-effects on a number of sensorimotor ...

“Fitness and Fatness” in Children and Adolescents: An Italian Cross-Sectional Study
Children, 2021 Children with obesity tend to have lower level of physical activity compared to non-obese peers. In fact, sedentary behaviors are prevalent in obese children causing difficulties to perform motor tasks and engaging in sport activities. This, in turn, has

Attention-dependent modulation of neural activity in primary sensorimotor cortex [PDF]
, 2013 Although motor tasks at most times do not require much attention, there are findings that attention can alter neuronal activity not only in higher motor areas but also within the primary sensorimotor cortex.

Determining monkey free choice long before the choice is made: the principal role of prefrontal neurons involved in both decision and motor processes [PDF]
, 2016 When choices are made freely, they might emerge from pre-existing neural activity. However, whether neurons in the prefrontal cortex (PF) show this anticipatory effect and, if so, in which part of the process they are involved is still debated. To answer

Motor-Free Contractility in Active Gels [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 2020 Animal cells form contractile structures to promote various functions, from cell motility to cell division. Force generation in these structures is often due to molecular motors such as myosin that require polar substrates for their function. Here, we propose a motor-free mechanism that can generate contraction in biopolymer networks without the need ...
