Promoting Motor Function by Exercising the Brain
Exercise represents a behavioral intervention that enhances brain health and motor function. The increase in cerebral blood volume in response to physical activity may be responsible for improving brain function. Among the various neuroimaging techniques used to monitor brain hemodynamic response during exercise, functional near-infrared spectroscopy could facilitate the measurement of task-rel...
متن کاملATF3 expression improves motor function in the ALS mouse model by promoting motor neuron survival and retaining muscle innervation.
ALS is a fatal neurodegenerative disease characterized by a progressive loss of motor neurons and atrophy of distal axon terminals in muscle, resulting in loss of motor function. Motor end plates denervated by axonal retraction of dying motor neurons are partially reinnervated by remaining viable motor neurons; however, this axonal sprouting is insufficient to compensate for motor neuron loss. ...
متن کاملBrain MRI and motor function in leukodystrophies.
There is a need to develop clinical outcome measures for future treatment trials, particularly for pediatric studies and for studies of rare disorders for which such outcome metrics are neither currently well-defined nor validated. Patient-reported outcome measures should reflect outcomes that are meaningful to patient-perceived quality of life and sensitive to patient-identified change over ti...
متن کاملEvaluation of Hemodynamic Response Function in Vision and Motor Brain Regions for the Young and Elderly Adults
Introduction: Prior studies comparing Hemodynamic Response Function (HRF) in the young and elderly adults based on fMRI data have reported inconsistent findings for brain vision and motor regions in healthy aging. It is shown that the averaging method employed in all previous works has caused this inconsistency. The averaging is so sensitive to outliers and noise. However, fMRI data are o...
