Early motor skill acquisition in healthy older adults: functional MRI and connectome correlates

Manon Chloé Durand-Ruel

decrement have been proposed, such as weakened acquisition of the motor skill. While the processes at play during the initial acquisition phase have been well-characterized in young adults, they were only scarcely investigated in older adults. The goal of ...

Does one size fit all? - Towards the optimization and personalization of non-invasive brain stimulation paradigms to enhance motor learning

Laurijn Rianne Draaisma

The acquisition and re-acquisition of motor skills is an important aspect of daily life and in the recovery after a stroke. Non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) is a technique that is used to improve motor learning and enhance motor recovery in stroke sur ...

Personalizable computational models of electrical spinal cord stimulation to restore function after neurological disorders

Andreas Rowald

Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) disrupts the communication between the brain and spinal circuits below the lesion, leading to a plethora of neurological impairments, including the loss of motor function. At present, the only medical practices to enhance recovery ...

Electrical spinal cord stimulation protocols to regulate motor and autonomic functions in people with neurological disorders

Robin Jonathan Demesmaeker

Neurological disorders such as spinal cord injury (SCI) massively reduce independence and quality of life. Most often, the majority of the nervous system is still fully or partially spared, but dysfunctional due to aberrant or absent descending input from ...

Besides relying heavily on sensory and reinforcement feedback, motor skill learning may also depend on the level of motivation experienced during training. Yet, how motivation by reward modulates motor learning remains unclear. In 90 healthy subjects, we i ...

Development of a peripheral neuroprosthesis to elicit fine hand movements in primates

Marion Aimée Geneviève Badi-Dubois

Neurological disorders such as spinal cord lesion and stroke disturb sensorimotor pathways and result in severe motor deficits that can dreadfully impact the quality of life of affected individuals. Strategies aiming at restoring hand function after upper- ...

The role of the inferior parietal lobule in writer's cramp

Traian Popa

Humans have a distinguishing ability for fine motor control that is subserved by a highly evolved cortico-motor neuronal network. The acquisition of a particular motor skill involves a long series of practice movements, trial and error, adjustment and refi ...
