Video self-assessment augments development of videoscopic suturing skill.
17 Sep 2009 
BACKGROUND: Development of surgical skills on inanimate models has been popularized by efforts to improve patient safety and efficiency of resident training. We evaluated whether surgical residents' acquisition of videoscopic suturing skill is ...

16 Sep 2009 OBJECTIVE: Training to perform a serial reaction-time task (procedural motor learning) with one hand results in performance improvements in the untrained as well as in the trained hand, a phenomenon referred to as intermanual transfer. The aim of ...

The representation of tool use in humans and monkeys: common and uniquely human features.
14 Sep 2009 Though other species of primates also use tools, humans appear unique in their capacity to understand the causal relationship between tools and the result of their use. In a comparative fMRI study, we scanned a large cohort of human volunteers and ...

7 Sep 2009 We recorded motor-evoked potentials (MEPs) to transcranial magnetic stimulation from the right opponens pollicis (OP) muscle while participants observed an experimenter operating two types of pliers: pliers opened by the extension of the fingers and ...

Efficacy of interventions to improve motor development in young children: a systematic review.
5 Sep 2009 OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to systematically review evidence from controlled trials on the efficacy of motor development interventions in young children. METHODS: A literature search of interventions was conducted of 14 electronic ...

Functional brain areas associated with manipulation of a prehensile tool: a PET study.
30 Aug 2009 Using PET, brain areas representing the use of a well-learned tool (chopsticks) were investigated in 10 normal common users. The experimental task was to hold the tool in their right hand and use it to pick up and transport a small pin from a table. ...

Repetition suppression for performed hand gestures revealed by fMRI.
30 Aug 2009 The functional components of the human motor system that are used to retrieve and execute simple intransitive hand gestures were identified with a repetition suppression (RS) paradigm. Participants performed movements with the right hand to text ...

Robotic approaches to the posterior spine.
30 Aug 2009 STUDY DESIGN: This anatomic study described robotic approaches to the posterior thoracolumbar spine in a porcine model. Ergonomics, control, and approach and technical difficulties were noted. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to develop a ...

The retrieval of learned sequences engages the hippocampus: Evidence from fMRI.
30 Aug 2009 Computational models suggest that the hippocampus plays an important role in the retrieval of sequences. However, empirical evidence supporting hippocampal involvement during sequence retrieval is lacking. The current study used functional magnetic ...
