Experimental Muscle Pain Impairs the Synergistic Modular Control of Neck Muscles. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 A motor task can be performed via different patterns of muscle activation that show regularities that can be factorized in combinations of a reduced number of muscle groupings (also referred to as motor modules, or muscle synergies).

Between-subject variability of muscle synergies during a complex motor skill
Frontiers in Computational Neuroscience, 2012 The purpose of the present study was to determine whether subjects who have learned a complex motor skill exhibit similar neuromuscular control strategies. We studied a population of experienced gymnasts during backward giant swings on the high bar. This

Processing Abstract Language Modulates Motor System Activity [PDF]
Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, 2008 Embodiment theory proposes that neural systems for perception and action are also engaged during language comprehension. Previous neuroimaging and neurophysiological studies have only been able to demonstrate modulation of action systems during comprehension of concrete language.

Suboptimal muscle synergy activation patterns generalize their motor function across postures
Frontiers in Computational Neuroscience, 2016 We used a musculoskeletal model to investigate the possible biomechanical and neural bases of using consistent muscle synergy patterns to produce functional motor outputs across different biomechanical conditions, which we define as generalizability ...

A Robotic Brain Scheme: Proposal Originated by a Modular Robotic Control
Applied Bionics and Biomechanics, 2007 A robot brain scheme has been implemented, based on and controlled by analog circuits and micro-controllers. The modules have been classified as: (a) world signal processing, (b) world signal relevance assessing, (c) pre-motor decisions, (d) motor ...

Enhanced pre-frontal functional-structural networks to support postural control deficits after traumatic brain injury in a pediatric population [PDF]
, 2017 Traumatic brain injury (TBI) affects the structural connectivity, triggering the re-organization of structural-functional circuits in a manner that remains poorly understood.

Collagen VI Regulates Motor Circuit Plasticity and Motor Performance by Cannabinoid Modulation [PDF]
The Journal of Neuroscience, 2021 Collagen VI is a key component of muscle basement membranes, and genetic variants can cause monogenic muscular dystrophies. Conversely, human genetic studies recently implicated collagen VI in central nervous system function, with variants causing the movement disorder dystonia.

THE NEURAL ORIGIN OF MUSCLE SYNERGIES
Frontiers in Computational Neuroscience, 2013 Muscle synergies are neural coordinative structures that function to alleviate the computational burden associated with the control of movement and posture. In this commentary, we address two critical questions: the explicit encoding of muscle synergies

Sensorimotor Self-organization via Circular-Reactions
Frontiers in Neurorobotics, 2021 Newborns demonstrate innate abilities in coordinating their sensory and motor systems through reflexes. One notable characteristic is circular reactions consisting of self-generated motor actions that lead to correlated sensory and motor activities. This

Extracellular Peptidase Activity Tunes Motor Pattern Modulation [PDF]
The Journal of Neuroscience, 2002 We are examining how extracellular peptidase activity sculpts the peptidergic actions of modulatory projection neurons on rhythmically active neuronal circuits, using the pyloric circuit in the stomatogastric ganglion (STG) of the crabCancer borealis. Neurally released peptides can diffuse long distances to bind to their receptors.
