Serotonin and motor activity

Current Opinion in Neurobiology, 1997
The activity of brain serotonergic neurons in both the pontine-mesencephalic and medullary groups is positively correlated with the level of behavioral arousal and/or the behavioral state. This, in turn, appears to be related to the level of tonic motor activity, especially as manifested in antigravity muscles and other muscle groups associated with ...

Handwriting as a motor activity

Insight, 1984
Computer-based handwriting exercises were developed for students with handwriting difficulties, but normal vision, in 1976. These exercises were subsequently adapted for blind students by using the computer to translate visual information concerning pen movements and letter shapes into tactile and auditory form.

Motor Activity and Verbal Behavior

Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1963
The present study was undertaken to investigate the effects of motor activity upon verbal behavior. 120 8th grade students served as Ss distributed among 6 experimental samples. Although Ss failed to condition verbally, and no interaction effect was found between verbal conditioning and motor activity, it was found that Ss engaged in a motor activity (

Colonic Motor Activity

Surgical Clinics of North America, 1993
The colon exhibits three types of contractions: individual phasic (short and long duration), organized groups (MMCs and nonmigrating motor complexes), and ultrapropulsive (giant migrating contractions). The individual phasic contractions and the MMCs and nonmigrating motor complexes produce extensive mixing and kneading of fecal material and slow net ...

Development of motor activity in kittens

Developmental Psychobiology, 1980
AbstractDevelopmental alterations in motor activity were quantified for the 1st 7 postnatal months in the kitten. Motor activity measured with a stabilimeter was low and constant for the 1st 9 postnatal days, increased markedly until Day 14, and remained stable until Day 21. Locomotor activity measured in an open field decreased slightly during the 1st

Motor and electric activity of the duodenum

American Journal of Physiology-Legacy Content, 1961
Recordings of pressure and electric potentials from Biebl loops of the duodenum of trained dogs were used to quantitate and to determine relationships among basic electric rhythm (BER), irregular bursts of spike potentials, and motor action of the duodenum. After control periods, morphine was used to stimulate rhythmic motor activity. The omnipresence

Differential elevation by protriptyline and depression by diazepam of upper airway respiratory motor activity.

American Review of Respiratory Disease, 2015
Effects of systemically administered protriptyline and diazepam on the respiratory activity of the phrenic, hypoglossal, and recurrent laryngeal nerves were investigated in vagotomized, decerebrate cats.

Motor activity in depressed children

Journal of Affective Disorders, 2011
Motor retardation is a cardinal feature in adult depression. Limited information exists about motor activity in depressed children. The present study evaluated motor activity in depressed children compared to controls and investigated whether motor activity can be linked with the severity of symptoms in depressed children.Motor activity during both day-

Motor Activity, Anticipated Motor Activity, and Young Children's Associative Learning

Child Development, 1976
The purpose of this study was to determine whether motor activity, previously assumed necessary to induce imagery in young children's associative learning, actually has to be executed. The results of our experiment with kindergartners clearly suggest not: In conditions where subjects simply planned to the potential motor activity (without executing it),

The effect of motor and physical activity intervention on motor outcomes of children with autism spectrum disorder: A systematic review

Autism, 2019
Difficulty performing age-appropriate motor skills affects up to 83% of children with autism spectrum disorder. This systematic review examined the effect of motor and physical activity intervention on motor outcomes of children with autism spectrum ...
