Impact of interhemispheric inhibition on bimanual movement control in young and old

Friedhelm Christoph Hummel, Takuya Morishita

Interhemispheric interactions demonstrate a crucial role for directing bimanual movement control. In humans, a well-established paired-pulse transcranial magnetic stimulation paradigm enables to assess these interactions by means of interhemispheric inhibi ...

Breathing affects self-other voice discrimination in a bodily state associated with somatic passivity

Olaf Blanke, Giulio Rognini, Nathan Quentin Faivre, Hyeongdong Park, Pavo Orepic

A growing number of studies have focused on identifying cognitive processes that are modulated by interoceptive signals, particularly in relation to the respiratory or cardiac cycle. Considering the fundamental role of interoception in bodily self-consciou ...

Gait Variability to Phenotype Common Orthopedic Gait Impairments Using Wearable Sensors

Amir Muaremi, Wei Zhang

Mobility impairments are a common symptom of age-related degenerative diseases. Gait features can discriminate those with mobility disorders from healthy individuals, yet phenotyping specific pathologies remains challenging. This study aims to identify if ...

Identification of biopsychological trait markers in functional neurological disorders

Serafeim Loukas

Weber et al. provide evidence in support of a stress-diathesis model of functional neurological disorders. They identify trauma history in the form of emotional neglect as a psychological risk factor, and reduced hippocampus and amygdala volume as a predis ...

Personalizable computational models of electrical spinal cord stimulation to restore function after neurological disorders

Andreas Rowald

Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) disrupts the communication between the brain and spinal circuits below the lesion, leading to a plethora of neurological impairments, including the loss of motor function. At present, the only medical practices to enhance recovery ...

Fronto-Temporal Disconnection Within the Presence Hallucination Network in Psychotic Patients With Passivity Experiences

Patric Hagmann, Olaf Blanke, Alessandra Griffa, Pierre Progin, Giulio Rognini, Eva Blondiaux, Roy Salomon, Nathan Quentin Faivre, Jevita Potheegadoo, Giedre Stripeikyte, Kim Do

Psychosis, characterized by hallucinations and delusions, is a common feature of psychiatric disease, especially schizophrenia. One prominent theory posits that psychosis is driven by abnormal sensorimotor predictions leading to the misattribution of self- ...

Development of a peripheral neuroprosthesis to elicit fine hand movements in primates

Marion Aimée Geneviève Badi-Dubois

Neurological disorders such as spinal cord lesion and stroke disturb sensorimotor pathways and result in severe motor deficits that can dreadfully impact the quality of life of affected individuals. Strategies aiming at restoring hand function after upper- ...

The various forms of sensorimotor plasticity following limb amputation and their link with rehabilitation strategies

Estelle Emeline Raffin

Limb amputation is characterized by complex and intermingled brain reorganization processes combining sensorimotor deprivation induced by the loss of the limb per se, and compensatory behaviors, such as the over-use of the intact or remaining limb. While a ...
