Cognition allows for the use of different rule-based sensorimotor strategies, but neural underpinnings such strategies are poorly understood. The purpose this study was to compare activity in superior parietal lobule during a standard (direct interaction) reaching task, with two nonstandard (gaze and reach spatially incongruent) tasks requiring integration information. Specifically, these involved dissociating planes vision or rotating visual feedback by 180°. Single unit activity, gaze,...
Eye-hand coordination is crucial for our ability to interact with the world around us. However, much of visually guided reaches that we perform require a spatial decoupling between gaze direction and hand orientation. These complex decoupled reaching movements are in contrast more standard eye which eyes coupled. The superior parietal lobule (SPL) receives converging signals; however, what yet be understood how activity within this region modulated during reaches. To address this, recorded...
Abstract Wireless recordings in macaque neocortex and hippocampus showed stronger theta oscillations during early-stage sleep than alert volitional movement including walking. In contrast, hippocampal beta gamma were prominent walking other active behaviors. These relations between rhythms behavioral states the primate differ markedly from those observed rodents. Primate similar changes spectral content across state as hippocampus.
The aim of this research was to understand how the brain controls voluntary movement when not directly interacting with object interest. In present study, we examined role premotor cortex in behavior. goal study characterize oscillatory activity within caudal and rostral subdivisions dorsal (PMdc PMdr) a change from most basic reaching one that involves simple dissociation between actions eyes hand. We were specifically interested PMdr PMdc respond hand are decoupled by moving along...
Objective: This study aims to investigate possible improvements in the neurocognitive performance patients with treatment-resistant depression (TRD) following clinical dose of low-frequency, rTMS when administered RDLPFC and SMA. Because is often associated deficits, this information will help provide additional support for benefits rTMS. Method: Participants consisted 10 TRD who received (1200 pulses @ 1Hz, 110% motor threshold (MT)) SMA 100% MT) sessions. Each subject completed CNS Vital...
