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 ...
2024Accelerometry as a tool for measuring the effects of transcranial magnetic stimulation
Pierre Theopistos Vassiliadis, Julie Duqué
Objective: We predicted that accelerometry would be a viable alternative to electromyography (EMG) for assessing fundamental Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) measurements (e.g. Resting Motor Threshold (RMT), recruitment curves, latencies). New Metho ...
Elsevier2024Trio 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 ...
Vienna2024Butterfly effects in perceptual development: A review of the 'adaptive initial degradation' hypothesis
Lukas Vogelsang, Marin Vogelsang
Human perceptual development evolves in a stereotyped fashion, with initially limited perceptual capabilities maturing over the months or years following the commencement of sensory experience into robust proficiencies. This review focuses on the functiona ...
San Diego2024Value Estimation versus Effort Mobilization: A General Dissociation between Ventromedial and Dorsomedial Prefrontal Cortex
Deciding on a course of action requires both an accurate estimation of option values and the right amount of effort invested in deliberation to reach suf fi cient con fi dence in the fi nal choice. In a previous study, we have provided evidence, across a s ...
Soc Neuroscience2024The mouse motor system contains multiple premotor areas and partially follows human
Valerio Zerbi, Joanes Grandjean
While humans are known to have several premotor cortical areas, secondary motor cortex (M2) is often considered to be the only higher -order motor area of the mouse brain and is thought to combine properties of various human premotor cortices. Here, we sho ...
Cell Press2024Uncovering 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 ...
