Physiology of Esophageal Motor Function
Gastroenterology Clinics of North America, 1989The esophagus is a region with three functional zones: (1) the upper esophageal sphincter; (2) the esophageal body; and (3) the lower esophageal sphincter. Control mechanisms within the central nervous system and peripherally serve to integrate these functional zones in a region where voluntary and involuntary control mechanisms and the activity of two

Controlling and Learning Motor Functions
2018Effective and adaptive motor functions are important for living beings and developing computational and learning mechanisms for roving robots is a crucial aspect in biorobotics. In this chapter we report a new architecture for motor learning to be applied in insect-like walking robots.

Age and Ageing, 1985
Two hundred and eighty-seven patients who had survived an acute stroke for up to one week after admission to hospital were examined for loss of motor function in the arm and leg. There was a highly significant difference in problem-solving, spatial neglect, communication and postural function between those with significant motor loss and those without.

Motor Function of the Alimentary Tract
Annual Review of Physiology, 1964Inaugurating a new policy, the editors have asked this reviewer to limit his coverage of the past year's output in gastrointestinal physiology to the motor function of the digestive tract. Of course, this is a recognition not only of the rapidly increasing amount of literature in the field of gastroin testinal physiology, but also of the increasing ...

Rivastigmin and Impaired Motor Function
Pharmacopsychiatry, 2002In this case study, we describe the case of an 88-year-old female patient diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease who developed a severe motor dysfunction as a side effect of rivastigmin treatment. There have been reports on motor dysfunctions caused by other choline esterase inhibitors.

Effects of Amitraz on Motor Function *
Pharmacology & Toxicology, 1993The effects of amitraz, a formamidine derivative, on motor function were studied in rats. Behavioural and neurochemical studies were performed. Results show that amitraz was able: 1) to decrease locomotion and rearing frequencies of rats and to increase their immobility time in an open‐field; 2) to displace to the left the control dose‐response curve ...

Disorders of facial motor function
Current Opinion in Ophthalmology, 1996This review deals with a variety of disorders of facial movement. Recent publications on blepharospasm, facial spasm, facial myokymia, apraxia of lid opening and facial paralysis are referenced and discussed. In blepharospasm, carefully performed electromyographic studies reveal a variety of abnormal patterns of contraction of the oribicularis oculi ...

Rationales for improving motor function
Current Opinion in Neurology, 1999New findings in basic neuroscience, and the growing knowledge regarding neuroplasticity and motor learning have exerted influence and have provided stimuli for motor rehabilitation research. Repeated motor practice has been identified as crucial for motor recovery.

Motor Functions of the Basal Ganglia
Stereotactic and Functional Neurosurgery, 1986This session dealt with the structure and function of the basal ganglia and their role in motor control. The key issues discussed in the first four presentations concerned the pathophysiology of movement performance in parkinsonian patients and in animal models of this disease.
