Is Psychiatry Ready to Move?

Getting ready to move: transmitted information in the corticospinal pathway during preparation for movement.

Corticospinal interactions are considered to play a key role in executing voluntary movements. Nonetheless several different studies have shown directly and indirectly that these interactions take place long before movement starts, when preparation for forthcoming movements dominates. When motor-related parameters are continuously processed in several premotor cortical sites, segmental circuitr...

Getting Humanoids to Move and Imitate

AS ROBOTS INCREASINGLY BEcome part of our everyday lives, they will serve as caretakers for the elderly and disabled, assistants in surgery and rehabilitation, and educational toys. But for this to happen, programming and control must become simpler and human–robot interaction more natural. Both challenges are particularly relevant to humanoid robots, which are highly difficult to control yet m...

Planar polarity: Getting ready to ROCK

Cells in the Drosophila wing are polarised to produce a single distally pointing trichome. Recent studies show that this requires the recruitment of the Dishevelled protein to the distal cell edge, and the correct levels of Rho-associated kinase activity.

Priming: getting ready for battle.

Infection of plants by necrotizing pathogens or colonization of plant roots with certain beneficial microbes causes the induction of a unique physiological state called "priming." The primed state can also be induced by treatment of plants with various natural and synthetic compounds. Primed plants display either faster, stronger, or both activation of the various cellular defense responses tha...
