The brain uses sensory feedback to correct errors in behavior. Songbirds and humans acquire vocal behaviors by imitating the sounds produced adults rely on auditory throughout their lifetimes. In both birds humans, acoustic variability decreases steadily with age following acquisition of Prior studies have shown that while fall within limits evoke robust motor corrections, larger do not induce learning. Although such results suggest younger animals, which greater variability, might large...
Experimental manipulations of sensory feedback during complex behavior have provided valuable insights into the computations underlying motor control and sensorimotor plasticity1. Consistent perturbations result in compensatory changes output, reflecting feedforward that reduce experienced error. By quantifying how different errors affect human behavior, prior studies explored visual signals are used to recalibrate arm movements2,3 auditory is modify speech production4-7. The strength this...
Abstract Background Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune disease damaging the central nervous system. Diminished inflammatory activity (DA) as people with MS (pwMS) age motivated randomized clinical trials assessing disease-modifying therapy (DMT) discontinuation in older pwMS given concern for risks outweighing benefits. This study aims to examine whether peripheral production of Myelin Basic Protein (MBP)-driven cytokine responses mediate aging-associated decline DA. Methods We...
Objective: To evaluate the role of transient evoked otoacoustic emission (TEOAE) in screening very low birthweight (VLBW) neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) graduates for hearing loss comparison with visual reinforcement orientation audiology (VROA) at 10 months. Methodology: The study population was all VLBW survivors discharged from a single regional NICU John Hunter Childrens Hospital (JHCH), Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia, between April 1994 and March 1996. A TEOAE screen...
<h3>Introduction/Background</h3> Approximately 15% of women who present with post-menopausal bleeding (PMB) are diagnosed proliferative endometrium. It is not currently thought to be precancerous, however part the spectrum changes seen persistent unopposed oestrogen stimulation. (1,2) There little high quality evidence regarding long term outcomes on these women. We performed a retrospective cohort study investigate and chance development into malignancy. <h3>Methodology</h3> 411 aged over...

Abstract Like human speech, vocal behavior in songbirds depends critically on auditory feedback. In both humans and songbirds, skills are acquired by a process of imitation whereby current production is compared to an acoustic target. Similarly, performance adulthood relies strongly feedback, online manipulations signals can dramatically alter even after vocalizations have been well learned. Artificially delaying feedback disrupt speech birdsong, internal delays hypothesized as cause...

Tumefactive multiple sclerosis (TMS) is a rare subtype of (MS) that poses diagnostic and therapeutic challenge, with relatively little available published data. Though studies have demonstrated similar disease course in TMS non-tumefactive disease, refractory cases requiring early escalation therapy are noted risk factors unclear. Furthermore, no presented data specifically on adult African American patients TMS. We present case to steroids plasma exchange an African-American woman. Disease...
