Reward signals in the motor cortex: from biology to neurotechnology

Solaiman Shokur, Pierre Theopistos Vassiliadis

Over the past decade, research has shown that the primary motor cortex (M1), the brain's main output for movement, also responds to rewards. These reward signals may shape motor output in its final stages, influencing movement invigoration and motor learni ...

Sensorimotor Induction of Auditory Misattribution in Early Psychosis

Olaf Blanke, Patric Hagmann, Alessandra Griffa, Andrea Serino, Giulio Rognini, Roy Salomon, Fosco Bernasconi, Silvia Marchesotti

Dysfunction of sensorimotor predictive processing is thought to underlie abnormalities in self-monitoring producing passivity symptoms in psychosis. Experimentally induced sensorimotor conflict can produce a failure in bodily self-monitoring (presence hall ...

A Robotic System for Quantitative Assessment and Poststroke Training of Forelimb Retraction in Mice

Silvestro Micera

Background. Neurorehabilitation protocols based on the use of robotic devices have recently shown to provide promising clinical results. However, their efficacy is still limited because of the poor comprehension of the mechanisms at the basis of functional ...

Multicontrats MRI Improved the Clinico-Radiological Correlation in Early Multiple Sclerosis Patients with Minor Deficits

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Cristina Granziera, Gunnar Krüger, Djalel Eddine Meskaldji, Gloria Menegaz, David Paul Roger Romascano, Alexis Roche, Guillaume Bonnier, Ying-Chia Lin

Conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of patients with multiple sclerosis provides only limited insights into the nature of brain tissue damage with modest clinical-radiological correlations. In this study, quantitative and semi-quantitative MRI te ...

Semantic Trajectories : Computing and Understanding Mobility Data

Zhixian Yan

Thanks to the rapid development of mobile sensing technologies (like GPS, GSM, RFID, accelerometer, gyroscope, sound and other sensors in smartphones), the large-scale capture of evolving positioning data (called mobility data or trajectories) generated by ...

Apraxia: a review

Olaf Blanke, Aude Billard, Biljana Petreska von Ritter-Zahony

Praxic functions are frequently altered following brain lesion, giving rise to apraxia - a complex pattern of impairments that is difficult to assess or interpret. In this chapter, we review the current taxonomies of apraxia and related cognitive and neuro ...

Speech arrest with stimulation may not reliably predict language deficit after epilepsy surgery

Olaf Blanke

The authors present a patient in whom electrical cortical stimulation of the posterior temporal cortex induced speech arrest, comprehension deficits, and other language-related impairments. This area was ultimately resected because of persistence of a seve ...
