Proprioceptively guided reaching movements in 3D space: effects of age, task complexity and handedness
Aging is associated with impaired upper limb proprioceptive acuity, as reflected by decreased position matching accuracy with increasing task complexity and movement extent. Most studies have primarily used s...

Mouse strain-dependent variation in obesity and glucose homeostasis in response to high-fat feeding
Metabolic disorders are commonly investigated using knockout and transgenic mouse models. A variety of mouse strains have been used for this purpose. However, mouse strains can differ in their inherent propens...

Kinematic Properties of Upper Limb Movement Trajectories
Since the beginning of this century, unidirectional goal-directed movements of the upper extremity have been extensively studied (e.g., [23]). Early on, movements were divided into the intuitively satisfying c...

Effects of gravitational forces on single joint arm movements in humans
We have examined the kinematics and muscle activation patterns of single joint elbow movements made in the vertical plane. Movements of different amplitudes were performed during a visual, step-tracking task. ...

Movement-related phasic muscle activation
To test the hypothesis that phasic muscle activation is related to the acceleration-deceleration characteristics of the resulting movement, we examined the relation between the duration of the acceleratory pha...

Role of the cerebellum in visuomotor coordination
The initiation of coupled eye and arm movements was studied in six patients with mild cerebellar dysfunction and in six age-matched control subjects. The experimental paradigm consisted of 40 deg step-tracking...

Alkane Functionalization by Mercury Photosensitization
Alkanes, alcohols, ethers and silanes can be dimerised by mercury photosensitisation on a preparative scale. Alkane functionalisation can be effected by cross-dimerising an alkane with any of these substrates.

Initial agonist burst duration depends on movement amplitude
The initial burst of EMG activity associated with arm movements made by normal human subjects was studied. Subjects made visually guided, steptracking movements of different amplitudes and speeds. The duration...
