Reaching higher: External scapula assistance can improve upper limb function in humans with irreversible scapula alata

open access: yesJournal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation, 2021
Background Scapular dyskinesis, i.e., the deviant mobility or function of the scapula, hampers upper limb function in daily life. A typical sign of scapular dyskinesis is a scapula alata—a protrusion of the shoulder blade during arm elevation. While some

Partial inactivation of songbird auditory cortex impairs both tempo and pitch discrimination

open access: yesMolecular Brain, 2023
Neuronal tuning for spectral and temporal features has been studied extensively in the auditory system. In the auditory cortex, diverse combinations of spectral and temporal tuning have been found, but how specific feature tuning contributes to the ...

Validation of a novel instrumentation (FlexOmega system) measuring oar bending moments on-water in rowing

open access: yesCurrent Issues in Sport Science, 2023
Quantifying rowing performance can facilitate control of training load or assessment of skill level. Accordingly, the FlexOmega system was developed, which records the bending moment of the oar. This work aimed to validate this new instrumentation during

Sensory stimulation in the treatment of children with sleep-related rhythmic movement disorder: a feasibility and acceptability study

open access: yesSleep Science and Practice, 2020
Background Sleep-related rhythmic movement disorder is characterized by repetitive gross-motor movements at sleep onset or during sleep, which result in clinical consequences such as impact on daytime functioning and injury. No well-established therapies

Immune System as a Sensory System

open access: yesInternational Journal of Biomedical Science, 2010
As suggested by the well-known gestalt concept the immune system can be regarded as an integrated complex system, the functioning of which cannot be fully characterized by the behavior of its constituent elements. Similar approaches to the immune system in particular and sensory systems in general allows one to discern similarities and differences in ...

The solute carrier SLC9C1 is a Na+/H+-exchanger gated by an S4-type voltage-sensor and cyclic-nucleotide binding

open access: yesNature Communications, 2018
The sperm-specific solute carrier SLC9C1 is a phylogenetic chimaera that carries a voltage-sensing (VSD) and a cyclic nucleotide-binding domain (CNBD). Here authors show by electrophysiology and fluorimetry that SLC9C1 is a genuine Na+/H+ exchanger gated

Intrinsic motivation for singing in songbirds is enhanced by temporary singing suppression and regulated by dopamine

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
Behaviors driven by intrinsic motivation are critical for development and optimization of physical and brain functions, but their underlying mechanisms are not well studied due to the complexity and autonomy of the behavior.

Music meets robotics: a prospective randomized study on motivation during robot aided therapy

open access: yesJournal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation, 2018
Background Robots have been successfully applied in motor training during neurorehabilitation. As music is known to improve motor function and motivation in neurorehabilitation training, we aimed at integrating music creation into robotic-assisted motor ...
