The substrates that mediate recovery of motor function after stroke are incompletely understood. Several primate and human studies proposed the involvement of the premotor cortex of the lesioned hemisphere. Here, we studied four chronic stroke patients wit ...
Successful behavior requires contextual modulation of learned "programs", that is, the retrieval or nonretrieval (inhibition) of behavioral elements depending on situative context. Here we report neural correlates of these elementary aspects of behavior as ...
{NOTE}: {THIS} {REPORT} {HAS} {BEEN} {SUPERSEDED} {BY} {IDIAP-RR} 04-04. {I}n this report we address the problem of non-frontal face verification when only a frontal training image is available (e.g. a passport photograph) by augmenting a client's frontal ...
In the framework of a {B}ayesian classifier based on mixtures of gaussians, we address the problem of non-frontal face verification (when only a single (frontal) training image is available) by extending each frontal face model with artificially synthesize ...
The present study reports on the direction of saccadic and smooth eye movements, which were induced electrically from the human dorsolateral frontal cortex including the human frontal eye field (FEF). The eye position prior to stimulation was varied in ord ...
Functional imaging studies have shown that information relevant to sound recognition and sound localization are processed in anatomically distinct cortical networks. We have investigated the functional organization of these specialized networks by evaluati ...
Neuron-glia interactions are essential for synaptic function, and glial glutamate (re)uptake plays a key role at glutamatergic synapses. In knockout mice, for either glial glutamate transporters, GLAST or GLT-1, a classical metabolic response to synaptic a ...
A new beta-microprobe (betaP) has been used to locally measure the time-concentration curve of a radiolabeled substance. The betaP, analogous to positron emission tomography methodology, is useful for in vivo animal studies because it can acquire time-conc ...
Uncoupling proteins (UCPs) present in the inner mitochondrial membrane are involved in uncoupling respiration from ATP synthesis. Five UCP isoforms have been identified but information about their presence and level of expression in the central nervous sys ...
L1 and NCAM, two cell adhesion molecules of the immunoglobulin superfamily, have been implicated in the formation of neural circuits, synaptic plasticity, and cognitive function. In this study, we sought to investigate whether differences in the steady-sta ...
