Unveiling the invisible: receivers use object weight cues for grip force planning in handover actions
Handover actions are part of our daily lives. Whether it is the milk carton at the breakfast table or tickets at the box office, we usually perform...

Activation of Cerebellum, Basal Ganglia and Thalamus During Observation and Execution of Mouth, hand, and foot Actions
Humans and monkey studies showed that specific sectors of cerebellum and basal ganglia activate not only during execution but also during observation...

How the conception of control influences our understanding of actions
Wilful movement requires neural control. Commonly, neural computations are thought to generate motor commands that bring the musculoskeletal system —...
-
Bimanual coordination during reach-to-grasp actions is sensitive to task goal with distinctions between left- and right-hemispheric stroke
The perceptual feature of a task such as how a task goal is perceived influences performance and coordination of bimanual actions in neurotypical...

Weak Static Magnetic Field: Actions on the Nervous System
The continuously changing magnetic field of the Earth and its constant influence on the vital activity of all living organisms makes studies of...
-
Observation of Motor Actions as a Tool for Motor Rehabilitation
Experimental studies have demonstrated that observation of motor actions induces activation in the observer of the same areas of the brain activated...

Spatial shifts in swi** actions, the impact of “left” and “right” verbalizations
Movements are often modulated by the meaning of cue words. We explore the interaction between verbal and visual constraints during a movement by...

The expression of decision and learning variables in movement patterns related to decision actions
Decisions are not necessarily easy to separate into a planning and an execution phase and the decision-making process can often be reflected in the...

The Nonspecific Positive Actions of Direct Current Transcranial Electrical Stimulation on Novel Word Acquisition
The effects of transcranial electrical stimulation (TES) of the brain on word learning were addressed in a large-scale study in 288 people. The study...

Interleukin-6 actions in the hypothalamus protects against obesity and is involved in the regulation of neurogenesis
BackgroundInterleukin-6 (IL6) produced in the context of exercise acts in the hypothalamus reducing obesity-associated inflammation and restoring the...

Do graspable objects always leave a motor signature? A study on memory traces
Several studies have reported the existence of reciprocal interactions between the type of motor activity physically performed on objects and the...

Quantitatively assessing aging effects in rapid motor behaviours: a cross-sectional study
BackgroundAn individual’s rapid motor skills allow them to perform many daily activities and are a hallmark of physical health. Although age and sex...

The role of goals and outcomes in young children’s memory for actions
Four- to six-year-old children participated in three experiments designed to investigate action features that may contribute to the self-enactment...

Online recognition of unsegmented actions with hierarchical SOM architecture
Automatic recognition of an online series of unsegmented actions requires a method for segmentation that determines when an action starts and when it...
-
A sensory–motor theory of the neocortex
Recent neurophysiological and neuroanatomical studies suggest a close interaction between sensory and motor processes across the neocortex. Here, I...

Manipulable objects can potentiate pointing and unusual gras** besides habitual gras** behaviors
People are faster to perform a precision grip when they see a cherry (i.e., a small graspable object) than to perform a power grip, and the reverse...

Representation of Real and Imagined Actions in the Early Visual Cortex
Recent evidence shows that the role of the early visual cortex (EVC) goes beyond visual processing and into higher cognitive functions (Roelfsema and...

Selective activations and functional connectivities to the sight of faces, scenes, body parts and tools in visual and non-visual cortical regions leading to the human hippocampus
Connectivity maps are now available for the 360 cortical regions in the Human Connectome Project Multimodal Parcellation atlas. Here we add function...

O hand, where art thou? Map** hand location across the visual field during common activities
Humans employ visually-guided actions during a myriad of daily activities. These ubiquitous but precise manual actions rely on synergistic work...

Curcumin for attention-deficit–hyperactivity disorder: a systematic review and preliminary behavioral investigation
Curcumin has protective actions in neuropsychiatric disorders, acting as a neuroprotective agent. As a first approach, the study aimed at a...
