An insular cortex - lateral amygdala network in fear learning

Animals are capable of evaluating sensory cues for possible threats and adapting their behaviours accordingly. Fear learning is an evolutionarily conserved behaviour crucial for animal survival, during which sensory percepts with a negative reinforcing qua ...

Revisiting brain rewiring and plasticity in children born without corpus callosum

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Maria Giulia Preti, Vanessa Siffredi, Silvia Obertino

The corpus callosum is the largest white matter pathway connecting homologous structures of the two cerebral hemispheres. Remarkably, children and adults with developmental absence of the corpus callosum (callosal dysgenesis, CD) show typical interhemisphe ...

Modulation of epileptic networks by transient interictal epileptic activity: A dynamic approach to simultaneous EEG-fMRI

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Maria Giulia Preti

Epileptic networks, defined as brain regions involved in epileptic brain activity, have been mapped by functional connectivity in simultaneous electroencephalography and functional magnetic resonance imaging (EEG-fMRI) recordings. This technique allows to ...

Age-Dependent Asymmetry of Wrist Position Sense Is Not Influenced by Stochastic Tactile Stimulation

Jamie Paik, Olivier Lambercy, Harshal Arun Sonar

Stochastic stimulation has been shown to improve movement, balance, the sense of touch, and may also improve position sense. This stimulation can be non-invasive and may be a simple technology to enhance proprioception. In this study, we investigated wheth ...

Dopaminergic modulation of motor network compensatory mechanisms in Parkinson's disease

Michael Herzog, Bogdan Draganski, Maya Anna Jastrzebowska, Renaud Marquis

The dopaminergic system has a unique gating function in the initiation and execution of movements. When the interhemispheric imbalance of dopamine inherent to the healthy brain is disrupted, as in Parkinson's disease (PD), compensatory mechanisms act to st ...

Dopaminergic modulation of cortical motor network lateralization

Michael Herzog, Bogdan Draganski, Maya Anna Jastrzebowska, Lester Melie Garcia, Renaud Marquis

Introduction Unilateral movements are primarily processed in contralateral cortical and subcortical areas and additionally in ipsilateral cerebellum, leading to an asymmetric pattern of neural activation. Decrease of lateralization is characteristic of agi ...

Mapping cortical brain asymmetry in 17,141 healthy individuals worldwide via the ENIGMA Consortium

Erick Jorge Canales Rodriguez

Hemispheric asymmetry is a cardinal feature of human brain organization. Altered brain asymmetry has also been linked to some cognitive and neuropsychiatric disorders. Here, the ENIGMA (Enhancing NeuroImaging Genetics through Meta-Analysis) Consortium pres ...

A Multifaceted Approach to Covert Attention Brain-Computer Interfaces

Christoph Schneider

Over the last years, brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) have shown their value for assistive technology and neurorehabilitation. Recently, a BCI-approach for the rehabilitation of hemispatial neglect has been proposed on the basis of covert visuospatial atte ...

A Compact Modular Soft Surface With Reconfigurable Shape and Stiffness

Jamie Paik, Matthew Aaron Robertson, Wyatt Marshall Felt, Masato Murakami

A variety of reconfigurable surface devices, utilizing large numbers of actuated physical pixels to produce discretized 3D contours, have been developed for different purposes in research and industry. The difficulty of integrating many actuators in close ...

Sensitivity to an Illusion of Sound Location in Human Auditory Cortex

Human listeners place greater weight on the beginning of a sound compared to the middle or end when determining sound location, creating an auditory illusion known as the Franssen effect. Here, we exploited that effect to test whether human auditory cortex ...
