We examined how people organize redundant kinematic control variables (finger joint configurations) while learning to make goal-directed movements of a virtual object (a cursor) within low-dimensional task space computer screen). Subjects participated in three experiments performed on separate days. Learning progressed rapidly day 1, resulting reduced target capture error and increased cursor trajectory linearity. On days 2 3, one group subjects adapted rotation the nominal map, imposed...

Loss of consciousness in anesthetized healthy participants and patients with unresponsive wakefulness syndrome (UWS) is associated substantial alterations functional connectivity across large-scale brain networks. Yet, a prominent distinction between the two cases that after anesthesia, are spontaneously restored, whereas UWS this restoration fails to occur, but why? A possible explanation self-organizing capability compromised not undergoing anesthesia. According theory self-organized...

The calorie and taste choices of food have been shown to be related the external environment, including music. Previous studies mostly focused on manipulating basic auditory parameters, with few scholars exploring impact complex musical parameters selection. This study explored effects different kinds music (classical, rock, jazz, hip-hop) liking based calories (high low) (sweet salty) using event-related potentials (ERPs). Twenty-four participants (8 males, 16 females) were recruited from...

We explored how people learn new ways to move objects through space using neuromuscular control signals having more degrees of freedom than needed unambiguously specify object location. Subjects wore an instrumented glove that recorded finger motions. A linear transformation matrix projected joint angle (a high-dimensional vector) onto a two-dimensional cursor position on video monitor. assessed visual information influences learning and generalization novel coordination patterns as subjects...

The cell cycle needs to strictly coordinate with developmental processes ensure correct generation of the body plan and different tissues. However, molecular mechanism underlying coordination remains largely unknown. In this study, we investigate how coordinates gastrulation movements in zebrafish. We present a system modulate early zebrafish embryos by manipulating geminin-Cdt1 balance. Alterations change apoptotic level during gastrulation, which correlates nuclear antiapoptotic factor κB...

During zebrafish development, the left-right (LR) asymmetric signals are first established around Kupffer vesicle (KV), a ciliated organ generating directional fluid flow. Then, LR asymmetry is conveyed and stabilized in lateral plate mesoderm. Although numerous molecules signaling pathways involved controlling asymmetry, mechanistic difference concordance between different organs during patterning poorly understood. Here we show that RA regulates laterality decisions at two stages...

Currently available treatments for Parkinson's disease (PD) do not delay or prevent development and progression. DL-3-n-butylphthalide (NBP), isolated from Apium graveolens seeds, alleviates oxidative damage mitochondrial dysfunction. It has been revealed to reduce the loss of dopamine neurons in pre-clinical PD models, approved treatment ischemic stroke patients. The purpose present study was examine whether NBP capacity provide a benefit patients slow A randomized, controlled trial...
