Age of Onset and Duration of Deafness Drive Brain Organization for Biological Motion Perception in Non-Signers
(2016-09)We used fMRI to characterize the neural responses to biological motion in adults who became deaf at a wide range of ages, none of whom were fluent sign language users. Although hearing people showed stronger activation for ... -
Development and Validation of a Portable fNIRS Device to Aid in Post-stroke Motor Recovery
(2021-04-07)Post-stroke physical rehabilitation has been shown to be beneficial in helping to completely or partially reduce stroke survivors’ impairment and increase their functional abilities, as well as in helping stroke survivors ... -
DEVELOPMENT OF BUTYRYLCHOLINESTERASE LIGANDS FOR THE IMAGING OF NEUROLOGICAL DISORDERS
(2013-08-12)Butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE) is a serine hydrolase enzyme that, along with acetylcholinesterase (AChE), catalyzes the hydrolysis of acetylcholine. These enzymes are associated with the pathology of neurologic disorders ... -
Learning in Non-Stationary Environments
(2013-08-26)Real-world decision making is challenging due, in part, to changes in the underlying reward structure: the best option last week may be less rewarding today. Determining the best response is even more challenging when ... -
NEURAL MECHANISMS OF MOTOR IMAGERY AND THE NATURE OF IMAGERY-BASED SKILL ACQUISITION
(2019-08-23)Motor imagery (MI), the mental rehearsal of movement, is an effective adjunct to physical practice (PP) for driving skill acquisition. While considered analogous to PP, in that a simulation of movement occurs without overt ...
