Evaluation of trajectory planning models for arm-reaching movements based on energy cost.
30 Aug 2009 
Computational studies have suggested that many characteristics of reaching trajectories in a horizontal plane can be effectively predicted by certain models, including, the minimum end point variance model and minimum torque change model. It has ...

30 Aug 2009 BACKGROUND: A limited number of reports on the long-term neurologic outcome of patients with SDAVFs treated by surgery and/or embolization are available in the literature. The aim of our study is to neurologically evaluate these patients at 2 ...

26 Aug 2009 AIM: To construct and validate a mini-battery to discriminate between Alzheimer's disease (AD) and mild cognitive impairment (MCI) in patients seen at a hospital memory clinic. METHODS: In a cohort of 310 subjects (137 with MCI and 173 with AD), the ...

26 Aug 2009 Understanding the neuronal underpinnings of cognitive processes during car driving is essential to understanding the origin of automobile accidents. Using fMRI we aimed to reveal differences in activation distribution contrasting passively observing ...

25 Aug 2009 Human subjects are able to prepare cognitively to resist an involuntary movement evoked by a suprathreshold transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) applied over the primary motor cortex (M1) by anticipatory selective modulation of corticospinal ...

Neural generators of sustained activity differ for stimulus-encoding and delay maintenance.
25 Aug 2009 The ability to maintain information online beyond sensory stimulation is regarded as a key contribution of working memory to goal-directed behaviour. It is widely accepted that sustained neural activity is a key mechanism of stimulus maintenance, ...

Ratcheting up the ratchet: on the evolution of cumulative culture.
25 Aug 2009 Some researchers have claimed that chimpanzee and human culture rest on homologous cognitive and learning mechanisms. While clearly there are some homologous mechanisms, we argue here that there are some different mechanisms at work as well. ...

Where is the love? The social aspects of mimicry.
25 Aug 2009 One striking characteristic of human social interactions is unconscious mimicry; people have a tendency to take over each other's posture, mannerisms and behaviours without awareness. Our goal is to make the case that unconscious mimicry plays an ...

Neuropsychological perspectives on the mechanisms of imitation.
25 Aug 2009 Cognitive neuroscientists have contributed to the understanding of imitation according to their expertise. Neuropsychologists first established over a century ago that lesions to the left hemisphere of right-handed individuals lead to a dramatic ...

Preliminary evidence that both blue and red light can induce alertness at night.
25 Aug 2009 BACKGROUND: A variety of studies have demonstrated that retinal light exposure can increase alertness at night. It is now well accepted that the circadian system is maximally sensitive to short-wavelength (blue) light and is quite insensitive to ...
