Hemodynamic signal changes accompanying execution and imagery of swallowing in patients with dysphagia: A multiple single-case near-infrared spectroscopy study

open access: yesFrontiers in Neurology, 2015
In the present multiple case study we examined hemodynamic changes in the brain in response to motor execution (ME) and motor imagery (MI) of swallowing in dysphagia patients compared to healthy matched controls using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS ...

The effect of unpredicted visual feedback on activation in the secondary somatosensory cortex during movement execution [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
BACKGROUND: A mechanism that monitors the congruence between sensory inputs and motor outputs is necessary to control voluntary movement. The representation of limb position is constantly updated on the basis of somatosensory and visual information and ...

CD47 promotes mitogen‐activated protein kinase and epithelial‐to‐mesenchymal transition molecular programs to drive prometastatic phenotypes in non‐small cell lung cancer

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Beyond its role in immune evasion, this study identified that CD47 drives tumor‐intrinsic signaling in non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Transcriptomic profiling and functional studies revealed that CD47 regulates cell adhesion, migration, and metastasis through an ERK–EMT signaling axis.

Embodiment, Cognition and the World Wide Web

open access: yes, 2014
Cognitive embodiment refers to the hypothesis that cognitive processes of all kinds are rooted in perception and action. Recent findings in cognitive neuroscience revealed that the motor cortex, long confined to the mere role of action programming and ...

Brain Activation Patterns Characterizing Different Phases of Motor Action: Execution, Choice and Ideation. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Motor behaviour is controlled by a large set of interacting neural structures, subserving the different components involved in hierarchical motor processes. Few studies have investigated the neural substrate of higher-order motor ideation, i.e.

Transcriptional profiling of circulating extracellular vesicles from prebiopsy prostate cancer patients

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
RNA profiling of circulating extracellular vesicles (EVs) from blood samples of men undergoing prostate biopsy identifies transcripts associated with clinically significant prostate cancer. Integrative analysis with public tumor datasets links EV‐derived gene signatures to tumor stage and progression‐free survival, highlighting CASP3, XRCC2, and RIT1 ...

Combining Self-Organizing Mapping and Supervised Affinity Propagation Clustering Approach to Investigate Functional Brain Networks Involved in Motor Imagery and Execution with fMRI Measurements

open access: yesFrontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2015
Clustering analysis methods have been widely applied to identifying the functional brain networks of a multitask paradigm. However, the previously used clustering analysis techniques are computationally expensive and thus impractical for clinical ...

Metastasis on pause: How dormant tumor cells stay hidden within the tumor microenvironment and evade immune surveillance

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Dormant cancer cells can hide in distant organs for years, evading treatment and the immune system. This review highlights how signals from the surrounding tissue and immune environment keep these cells inactive or trigger their reawakening. Understanding these mechanisms may help develop therapies to eliminate or control dormant cells and prevent ...

The role of mirror neurons in observational motor learning: an integrative review

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Human Movement, 2014
Mirror neurons were discovered in the early 1990’s in the premotor cortex of the rhesus macaque. These  special, visuo-motor neurons discharge action potentials when executing an action, as well as during the observation of the performance of a similar ...

First steps towards a motor-imagery based stroke BCI: New strategy to set up a classifier.

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2011
A new approach in motor rehabilitation after stroke is to use motor imagery (MI). To give feedback on MI performance BCIs can be used. This requires a fast and easy acquisition of a reliable classifier.
