Learning fast accurate movements requires intact frontostriatal circuits

open access: yesFrontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2013
The basal ganglia are known to play a crucial role in movement execution, but their importance for motor skill learning remains unclear. Obstacles to our understanding include the lack of a universally accepted definition of motor skill learning ...

Cortical Mirror-System Activation During Real-Life Game Playing: An Intracranial Electroencephalography (EEG) Study

open access: yes, 2018
Analogous to the mirror neuron system repeatedly described in monkeys as a possible substrate for imitation learning and/or action understanding, a neuronal execution/observation matching system (OEMS) is assumed in humans, but little is known to what ...

A latent discriminative model-based approach for classification of imaginary motor tasks from EEG data [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
We consider the problem of classification of imaginary motor tasks from electroencephalography (EEG) data for brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) and propose a new approach based on hidden conditional random fields (HCRFs).

Motor skill learning between selection and execution [PDF]

open access: yesTrends in Cognitive Sciences, 2015
Learning motor skills evolves from the effortful selection of single movement elements to their combined fast and accurate production. We review recent trends in the study of skill learning which suggest a hierarchical organization of the representations that underlie such expert performance, with premotor areas encoding short sequential movement ...

Neural correlates of motor imagery and execution in real-world dynamic behavior: evidence for similarities and differences

open access: yesFrontiers in Human Neuroscience
A large body of evidence shows that motor imagery and action execution behaviors result from overlapping neural substrates, even in the absence of overt movement during motor imagery.

“I Dreamed of My Hands and Arms Moving Again”: A Case Series Investigating the Effect of Immersive Virtual Reality on Phantom Limb Pain Alleviation

open access: yesFrontiers in Neurology, 2020
Phantom limb pain (PLP) is a type of chronic pain that follows limb amputation, brachial plexus avulsion injury, or spinal cord injury. Treating PLP is a well-known challenge.

Motor initiation and execution in patients with conversion paralysis

open access: yesActa Psychologica, 2002
Motor initiation and motor execution in four patients with conversion paralysis were investigated in a non-affected motor modality (speech). In line with the hypothesis of dissociated control in conversion disorder [Cognit. Neuropsychiatry 8 (1) (2001) 21] motor initiation, but not response duration, was expected to be impaired.

Abnormal EEG Spectral Power and Coherence Measures During Pre-Motor Stage in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis

open access: yesIEEE Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a multisystem neurodegenerative disorder characterized by progressive motor decline. Studies of electroencephalographic (EEG) activity during rest and motor execution have captured network changes in ALS.

Dissociating object directed and non-object directed action in the human mirror system; implications for theories of motor simulation. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Mirror neurons are single cells found in macaque premotor and parietal cortices that are active during action execution and observation. In non-human primates, mirror neurons have only been found in relation to object-directed movements or communicative ...

In situ molecular organization and heterogeneity of the Legionella Dot/Icm T4SS

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We present a nearly complete in situ model of the Legionella Dot/Icm type IV secretion system, revealing its central secretion channel and identifying new components. Using cryo‐electron tomography with AI‐based modeling, our work highlights the structure, variability, and mechanism of this complex nanomachine, advancing understanding of bacterial ...
