Motor learning characterized by changing Lévy distributions.

20 Jun 2009 The probability distributions for changes in transverse plane fingertip speed are Lévy distributed in human pole balancing. Six subjects learned to balance a pole on their index finger over three sessions while sitting and standing. The Lévy or ...

Cognitive function and overweight in preschool children.

20 Jun 2009 The authors assessed the association between cognitive function and incidence and maintenance of overweight in preschool children. A population-based birth cohort was established in Menorca, Spain, between 1997 and 1999 (n = 482). Body mass index ...

Long lasting structural changes in primary motor cortex after motor skill learning: a behavioural and stereological study.

14 Jun 2009 Many motor skills, once acquired, are stored over a long time period, probably sustained by permanent neuronal changes. Thus, in this paper we have investigated with quantitative stereology the generation and persistence of neuronal density changes ...

Developmental omega-3 supplementation improves motor skills in juvenile-adult rats.

11 Jun 2009 Long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids are critical for brain growth spurt during both foetal and postnatal period. They play important roles in the expression of genes regulating cell differentiation and neuronal growth, as well as in the ...

Inter-rater reliability of the Top Down Motor Milestone Test: a cross-sectional study.

6 Jun 2009 OBJECTIVE: To assess the inter-rater reliability of the Top Down Motor Milestone Test, which is the first step of the Mobility Opportunities Via Education programme in children with motor disabilities. DESIGN: A cross-sectional study. SETTING: ...

Two new test methods to quantify motor deficits in a marmoset model for Parkinson's disease.

6 Jun 2009 The validity of the common marmoset (Callithrix jacchus) as a model for human disease depends on the development of parameters with clinical relevance. We tested the effect of treatment with MPTP in two newly developed non-invasive motor behavioral ...

Dual-tasking: Is manual tapping independent of concurrently executed saccades?

4 Jun 2009 Maintaining both spatial and temporal accuracy of concurrent motor actions is a challenging behavioral requirement in multi-tasking, where possible resource bottlenecks may become apparent when these units are shared between tasks. This study ...

Differences in feedforward trunk muscle activity in subgroups of patients with mechanical low back pain.

3 Jun 2009 OBJECTIVE: To investigate alterations in trunk muscle timing patterns in subgroups of patients with mechanical low back pain (MLBP). Our hypothesis was that subjects with MLBP would demonstrate delayed muscle onset and have fewer muscles functioning ...

Persistence of motor memories reflects statistics of the learning event.

Jun 2009 Learning to control a new tool (i.e., a novel environment) produces an internal model, i.e., a motor memory that allows the brain to implicitly predict the behavior of the tool. Data from a wide array of experiments suggest that formation of motor ...
