Holding the arm still through subcortical mathematical integration of cortical commands

TL;DR: It is found that the brain uses a design principle in which its holding controller is not driven by the spatial location of the target, Rather, holding is obtained via mathematical integration of moving, potentially through a subcortical structure.
Journal ArticleDOI

A theory for curing the diseases of modernity

TL;DR: The showdown between a virus and the ailments of a hyperconnected but politically fragmented modern world is attracting increasing commentary, with a recent article referring to it as a ‘complexity crisis’.

Finger recruitment patterns during mirror movements suggest two systems for hand recovery after stroke

TL;DR: It is concluded that the pattern of mirror movements across homologous and non-homologous fingers reflect the summed contributions of both cortical and subcortical systems, and the implications of the results towards hand recovery after stroke.

Identifying patterns in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis progression from sparse longitudinal data

Divya Ramamoorthy, +119 more
TL;DR: In this article , the authors developed an approach based on a mixture of Gaussian processes to identify clusters of patients sharing similar disease progression patterns, modeling their average trajectories and the variability in each cluster.
Journal ArticleDOI

On tests of activation map dimensionality for fMRI-based studies of learning.

TL;DR: The development of the framework, a large scale simulation study, and the subsequent application to a study of motor learning in healthy adults found that the study of linear dimensionality is able to capture learning effects.
