Suppressing sensorimotor activity modulates the discrimination of auditory emotions but not speaker identity [PDF]
, 2010 Our ability to recognize the emotions of others is a crucial feature of human social cognition. Functional neuroimaging studies indicate that activity in sensorimotor cortices is evoked during the perception of emotion.

Gravin orchestrates protein kinase A and 2-adrenergic receptor signaling critical for synaptic plasticity and memory [PDF]
, 2012 A kinase-anchoring proteins (AKAPs) organize compartmentalized pools of protein kinase A (PKA) to enable localized signaling events within neurons. However, it is unclear which of the many expressed AKAPs in neurons target PKA to signaling complexes ...

miR-132/212 knockout mice reveal roles for these miRNAs in regulating cortical synaptic transmission and plasticity [PDF]
, 2013 miR-132 and miR-212 are two closely related miRNAs encoded in the same intron of a small non-coding gene, which have been suggested to play roles in both immune and neuronal function.

Noninvasive brain stimulation techniques can modulate cognitive processing [PDF]
, 2019 Recent methods that allow a noninvasive modulation of brain activity are able to modulate human cognitive behavior. Among these methods are transcranial electric stimulation and transcranial magnetic stimulation that both come in multiple variants.

Cerebellum to motor cortex paired associative stimulation induces bidirectional STDP-like plasticity in human motor cortex [PDF]
, 2012 The cerebellum is crucially important for motor control and adaptation. Recent non-invasive brain stimulation studies have indicated the possibility to alter the excitability of the cerebellum and its projections to the contralateral motor cortex, with ...

Physical and neural entrainment to rhythm: human sensorimotor coordination across tasks and effector systems. [PDF]
, 2014 The human sensorimotor system can be readily entrained to environmental rhythms, through multiple sensory modalities. In this review, we provide an overview of theories of timekeeping that make this neuroentrainment possible.
