Uncovering the neural encoding of behavior in the adult Drosophila motor system

One of the most important goals in neuroscience research has always been to understand how animals control their behavior. However, the long focus on the role of brain neurons in behavioral control might be missing the full story. In fact, brain-wide fluct ...

The progressive loss of brain network fingerprints in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis predicts clinical impairment

Enrico Amico, Antonella Romano

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disease characterised by functional connectivity alterations in both motor and extra-motor brain regions. Within the framework of network analysis, fingerprinting represents a reliable approach to ...

Sense of agency for intracortical brain-machine interfaces

Olaf Blanke, Andrea Serino, Marco Solcà, Nathan Quentin Faivre, Pavo Orepic, Tommaso Enrico Bertoni, Gaurav Sharma

Intracortical brain-machine interfaces decode motor commands from neural signals and translate them into actions, enabling movement for paralysed individuals. The subjective sense of agency associated with actions generated via intracortical brain-machine ...

Uncovering the neural substrates of communication between the brain and ventral nerve cord in Drosophila melanogaster (italic)

Florian Aymanns

Despite a long history of research in motor control, the exact mechanism of how the brain communicates with the the invertebrate ventral nerve cord (VNC) and the vertebrate spinal cord on a single neuron basis remains largely elusive. Drosophila melanogast ...

Inter-Individual Variability in Motor Output Is Driven by Recruitment Gain in the Corticospinal Tract Rather Than Motor Threshold

Traian Popa

Variability in the response of individuals to various non-invasive brain stimulation protocols is a major problem that limits their potential for clinical applications. Baseline motor-evoked potential (MEP) amplitude is the key predictor of an individual's ...

Kinesthetic motor-imagery training improves performance on lexical-semantic access

Sylvain Jean-François Harquel, Camille Bonnet

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of Motor Imagery (MI) training on language comprehension. In line with literature suggesting an intimate relationship between the language and the motor system, we proposed that a MI-training could imp ...
