Effects of housing conditions on stress, depressive like behavior and sensory-motor performances of C57BL/6 mice
BackgroundThe effects of housing conditions on animal physiology, behavior or stress are still debated. The aim of this study was to investigate the...

Thalamic Foxp2 regulates output connectivity and sensory-motor impairments in a model of Huntington’s Disease
BackgroundHuntington's Disease (HD) is a disorder that affects body movements. Altered glutamatergic innervation of the striatum is a major hallmark...

An island apart: Cranial endocast variation and sensory function in Tenrecomorpha
It has long been recognized that, among extant mammals, the afrotherian clade Tenrecomorpha contains an exceptional range of sensory specialists in...

Motor cortex retains and reorients neural dynamics during motor imagery
The most prominent characteristic of motor cortex is its activation during movement execution, but it is also active when we simply imagine movements...

The Contribution of Sensory Stimulation to Motor Performance in Insects
AbstractRapid adaptation of insects to changes in the environment is largely due to the plasticity of their response to biologically significant...

The metabolic and functional roles of sensory nerves in adipose tissues
Homeostatic regulation of adipose tissue is critical for the maintenance of energy balance and whole-body metabolism. The peripheral nervous system...

Effects of a physical exercise or motor activity protocol on cognitive function, lipid profile, and BDNF levels in older adults with mild cognitive impairment
This study analyzed the effects of a physical exercise program compared to the complexity of the motor task on the cognitive function, brain-derived...

Human local field potentials in motor and non-motor brain areas encode upcoming movement direction
Limb movement direction can be inferred from local field potentials in motor cortex during movement execution. Yet, it remains unclear to what extent...

Physiology of Sensory Perception
Sensory evaluation of food includes the critical examination and interpretation of important sensory attributes of a given product. The sensory...

olf413, a putative octopamine biosynthesis pathway gene is required for negative geotactic motor function in Drosophila melanogaster
Olf413 gene annotated as CG12673 in the genome of Drosophila melanogaster has been predicted to code for a protein with putative function in...

Form and Function
The physiology and morphology of insects largely explain the immense adaptability of these organisms to forest ecosystems. This chapter presents an...

Central Nervous System, Hormonal Regulation and Sensory Control of Schooling Behavior of Fish
AbstractData on the role of brain regions (forebrain, midbrain and other structures) in the control of schooling behavior of fish has been...

Adaptive learning and recall of motor-sensory sequences in adult echolocating bats
BackgroundLearning to adapt to changes in the environment is highly beneficial. This is especially true for echolocating bats that forage in diverse...

How the motor system copes with aging: a quantitative meta-analysis of the effect of aging on motor function control
Motor cognitive functions and their neurophysiology evolve and degrade along the lifespan in a dramatic fashion. Current models of how the brain...

Decision uncertainty as a context for motor memory
The current view of perceptual decision-making suggests that once a decision is made, only a single motor programme associated with the decision is...

The Sensory World of Fish
In school, you probably learned that humans have five senses. These are the sense of sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch. There are also a...

Task-residual effective connectivity of motor network in transient ischemic attack
Transient ischemic attack (TIA) is a temporary episode of neurological dysfunction that results from focal brain ischemia. Although TIA symptoms are...
-
Modality-specific sensory and decisional carryover effects in duration perception
BackgroundThe brain uses recent history when forming perceptual decisions. This results in carryover effects in perception. Although separate sensory...

Rapid degeneration of iPSC-derived motor neurons lacking Gdap1 engages a mitochondrial-sustained innate immune response
Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease is a chronic hereditary motor and sensory polyneuropathy targeting Schwann cells and/or motor neurons. Its multifactorial...

A framework for focal and connectomic map** of transiently disrupted brain function
The distributed nature of the neural substrate, and the difficulty of establishing necessity from correlative data, combine to render the map** of...
