Bilateral robot therapy based on haptics and reinforcement learning: Feasibility study of a new concept for treatment of patients after stroke.

30 Oct 2009 OBJECTIVE: To carry out a preliminary feasibility study of a new concept of robot therapy for severely impaired patients after stroke. DESIGN: A haptic manipulandum connected to a bar that can rotate freely while providing a measure of the rotation ... Read more...

c-Fos expression associated with reinstatement of cocaine-seeking behavior by response-contingent conditioned cues.

29 Sep 2009 The capability of cocaine cues to generate craving in cocaine-dependent humans, even after extended abstinence, is modeled in rats using cue reinstatement of extinguished cocaine-seeking behavior. We investigated neural activity associated with ... Read more...

Evidence for a common representation of decision values for dissimilar goods in human ventromedial prefrontal cortex.

28 Sep 2009 To make economic choices between goods, the brain needs to compute representations of their values. A great deal of research has been performed to determine the neural correlates of value representations in the human brain. However, it is still ... Read more...
