Identification of a rhythmic firing pattern in the enteric nervous system that generates rhythmic electrical activity in smooth muscle [PDF]
, 2018 The enteric nervous system (ENS) contains millions of neurons essential for organization of motor behavior of the intestine. It is well established that the large intestine requires ENS activity to drive propulsive motor behaviors.

Ultrastructural Characterization of the Lower Motor System in a Mouse Model of Krabbe Disease
Scientific Reports, 2016 Krabbe disease (KD) is a neurodegenerative disorder caused by the lack of β- galactosylceramidase enzymatic activity and by widespread accumulation of the cytotoxic galactosyl-sphingosine in neuronal, myelinating and endothelial cells.

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.

Motor point stimulation primarily activates motor nerve
Neuroscience Letters, 2020 Electrical stimulation for inducing muscle contraction can be divided into peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS) and motor point stimulation (MPS). Although the neural pathways activated by PNS have been well studied, those by MPS are still unclear. Here we investigated whether MPS activates Ia-sensory nerves and induces antidromic firing of motor nerves.

Prefrontal control over motor cortex cycles at beta-frequency during movement inhibition [PDF]
, 2014 A fully adapted behavior requires maximum efficiency to inhibit processes in the motor domain [ 1 ]. Although a number of cortical and subcortical brain regions have been implicated, converging evidence suggests that activation of right inferior frontal ...

Variation in human 3D trunk shape and its functional implications in hominin evolution
Scientific Reports, 2022 This study investigates the contribution of external trunk morphology and posture to running performance in an evolutionary framework. It has been proposed that the evolution from primitive to derived features of torso shape involved changes from a ...

Ambulatory Monitoring of Activities and Motor Symptoms in Parkinson's Disease [PDF]
, 2010 Ambulatory monitoring of motor symptoms in Parkinson's disease (PD) can improve our therapeutic strategies, especially in patients with motor fluctuations. Previously published monitors usually assess only one or a few basic aspects of the cardinal motor

Metachronal propagation of motor activity
Frontiers in Bioscience, 2013 A diverse array of biomechanical systems has evolved to satisfy locomotor requirements (reptation, swimming, walking, etc.) and in all cases, successful behabior achievement requires the integrated functioning of various segments, to ensure the appropriate positioning of the different body regions.
