Non-invasive stimulation of the human striatum disrupts reinforcement learning of motor skills
Friedhelm Christoph Hummel, Takuya Morishita, Pierre Theopistos Vassiliadis, Elena Beanato, Esra Neufeld, Fabienne Windel, Maximilian Jonas Wessel, Traian Popa, Julie Duqué
Reinforcement feedback can improve motor learning, but the underlying brain mechanisms remain underexplored. In particular, the causal contribution of specific patterns of oscillatory activity within the human striatum is unknown. To address this question, ...
Nature Portfolio2024Augmenting locomotor perception by remapping tactile foot sensation to the back
Olaf Blanke, Mohamed Bouri, Oliver Alan Kannape, Atena Fadaeijouybari, Selim Jean Habiby Alaoui
Background :Sensory reafferents are crucial to correct our posture and movements, both reflexively and in a cognitively driven manner. They are also integral to developing and maintaining a sense of agency for our actions. In cases of compromised reafferen ...
2024Trio preserves motor synapses and prolongs motor ability during aging
Evelyne Ruchti, Brian Donal McCabe, Soumya Banerjee, Greta Limoni, Samuel William Vernon, Wei Jiao
The decline of motor ability is a hallmark feature of aging and is accompanied by degeneration of motor synaptic terminals. Consistent with this, Drosophila motor synapses undergo characteristic age -dependent structural fragmentation co -incident with dim ...
Cell Press2024An objective skill assessment framework for microsurgical anastomosis based on ALI scores
Aude Billard, Kunpeng Yao, Soheil Gholami, Torstein Ragnar Meling, Anaëlle Olivia Marie Manon
IntroductionThe current assessment and standardization of microsurgical skills are subjective, posing challenges in reliable skill evaluation. We aim to address these limitations by developing a quantitative and objective framework for accurately assessing ...
Vienna2024Context-Aware Monitoring of Hand Motor Primitives in Daily Life Activities: A Pathway to Objectively Assess Rehabilitation of Patients with Upper-Limb Neurological Impairment
The hands, our silent performers in daily life, face overwhelming challenges when neurological impairments disrupt the simple tasks that compose our daily symphony. This thesis unveils a comprehensive framework for the objective monitoring of upper-limb re ...
EPFL2024Uncovering interactions between Descending Neurons as a functional principle of behavioural control
Animals, including humans, exhibit a remarkable variety of complex behaviours. How the nervous system controls all these behaviours ranging from simple, stereotyped movements to flexible, adaptive actions is a central questions of neuroscience. One of the ...
EPFL2024Mechanisms underlying reinforcement learning of motor skills
Motor learning allows animals, including human beings, to acquire skills that are es-sential for efficient interactions with the environment. This ability to learn new motor skills is of great practical relevance for daily-life activities (such as when lea ...
EPFL2023Early motor skill acquisition in healthy older adults: brain correlates of the learning process
Friedhelm Christoph Hummel, Takuya Morishita, Pablo Maceira Elvira, Manon Chloé Durand-Ruel, Chang-Hyun Park, Maeva Moyne
Motor skill learning is a crucial process at all ages. However, healthy aging is often accompanied by a reduction in motor learning capabilities. This study characterized the brain dynamics of healthy older adults during motor skill acquisition and identif ...
OXFORD UNIV PRESS INC2023Identifying important sensory feedback for learning locomotion skills
Auke Ijspeert, Guillaume Denis Antoine Bellegarda, Milad Shafiee Ashtiani
Robot motor skills can be acquired by deep reinforcement learning as neural networks to reflect state-action mapping. The selection of states has been demonstrated to be crucial for successful robot motor learning. However, because of the complexity of neu ...
NATURE PORTFOLIO2023Brain connectome correlates of short-term motor learning in healthy older subjects
Friedhelm Christoph Hummel, Takuya Morishita, Manon Chloé Durand-Ruel, Chang-Hyun Park, Maeva Moyne
The motor learning process entails plastic changes in the brain, especially in brain network reconfigurations. In the current study, we sought to characterize motor learning by determining changes in the coupling behaviour between the brain functional and ...
