Effects of lipopolysaccharide-induced inflammation on expression of growth-associated genes by corticospinal neurons [PDF]
Background: Inflammation around cell bodies of primary sensory neurons and retinal ganglion cells enhances expression of neuronal growth-associated genes and stimulates axonal regeneration.

Deciding when to decide : time-variant sequential sampling models explain the emergence of value-based decisions in the human brain [PDF]
The cognitive and neuronal mechanisms of perceptual decision making have been successfully linked to sequential sampling models. These models describe the decision process as a gradual accumulation of sensory evidence over time. The temporal evolution of

Role of the motor cortex in the generation of classically conditioned eyelid and vibrissae responses
The eyelid motor system has been used for years as an experimental model for studying the neuronal mechanisms underlying motor and cognitive learning, mainly with classical conditioning procedures. Nonetheless, it is not known yet which brain structures,

Motor deficits are produced by removing some cortical transplants grafted into injured sensorimotor cortex of neonatal rats. [PDF]
Fetal frontal cortex was transplanted into cavities formed in the right motor cortex of neonatal rats. As adults, the animals were trained to press two levers in rapid succession with their left forelimb to receive food rewards.

Determining a Role for Ventromedial Prefrontal Cortex in Encoding Action-Based Value Signals During Reward-Related Decision Making [PDF]
Considerable evidence has emerged to implicate ventromedial prefrontal cortex in encoding expectations of future reward during value-based decision making.

Motor cortex hemodynamic response to goal-oriented and non-goal-oriented tasks in healthy subjects
BackgroundMotor disorders are one of the world’s major scourges, and neuromotor rehabilitation is paramount for prevention and monitoring plans. In this scenario, exercises and motor tasks to be performed by patients are crucial to follow and assess ...
