Interference during the implicit learning of two different motor sequences.

22 May 2009 It has been demonstrated that learning a second motor task after having learned a first task may interfere with the long-term consolidation of the first task. However, little is known about immediate changes in the representation of the motor memory ...

Transient disruption of M1 during response planning impairs subsequent offline consolidation.

20 May 2009 Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) was used to probe the involvement of the left primary motor cortex (M1) in the consolidation of a sequencing skill. In particular we asked: (1) if M1 is involved in consolidation of planning processes prior to ...

Visual and fine-motor outcomes in adolescent survivors of high-risk congenital diaphragmatic hernia who did not receive extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.

19 May 2009 OBJECTIVE: Although survivors of congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) are at high risk for brain injury, little is known about their neurodevelopment. Studies exploring short-term outcomes in children who received extracorporeal membrane ...

A hierarchy of neurobehavioral tasks discriminates between mild and moderate brain injury in rats.

19 May 2009 Behavioral analysis commonly assesses cognitive deficits in rodents following traumatic brain injury (TBI). We examined rats that received sham, mild or moderate injury in the controlled cortical impact model of TBI. The rats were tested in a novel ...

Rehabilitation regimes based upon psychophysical studies of prosthetic vision.

18 May 2009 Human trials of prototype visual prostheses have successfully elicited visual percepts (phosphenes) in the visual field of implant recipients blinded through retinitis pigmentosa and age-related macular degeneration. Researchers are progressing ...

Detection, eye-hand coordination and virtual mobility performance in simulated vision for a cortical visual prosthesis device.

18 May 2009 In order to assess visual performance using a future cortical prosthesis device, the ability of normally sighted and low vision subjects to adapt to a dotted 'phosphene' image was studied. Similar studies have been conduced in the past and ...

Learning optimal adaptation strategies in unpredictable motor tasks.

18 May 2009 Picking up an empty milk carton that we believe to be full is a familiar example of adaptive control, because the adaptation process of estimating the carton's weight must proceed simultaneously with the control process of moving the carton to a ...

Context-specific grasp movement representation in the macaque anterior intraparietal area.

18 May 2009 To perform grasping movements, the hand is shaped according to the form of the target object and the intended manipulation, which in turn depends on the context of the action. The anterior intraparietal cortex (AIP) is strongly involved in the ...

The development of hand preference in children: the effect of task demands and links with manual dexterity.

17 May 2009 Lateralisation of hand preference and manual dexterity are known to develop over childhood, while in adulthood strength of hand preference has been shown to interact with extrinsic task demands. Some evidence exists to suggest that strength of hand ...

Functional outcomes post carpal tunnel release: a modified replication of a previous study.

17 May 2009 STUDY DESIGN: Exploratory cohort study. INTRODUCTION: To compares the outcome of self-administered questionnaires and physical measures in assessing change in function for participants after carpal tunnel surgery. METHODS: The self-administered ...
