Plasticity in the Human Motor System
ثبت نشده
چکیده
It is well recognized that the number and effectiveness of synapses in the adult brain change in response to learning and that similar processes contribute to the restoration of function after central nervous system damage. It is possible to use non-invasive methods of brain stimulation in humans (transcranial magnetic stimulation or transcranial direct current stimulation) to study and even manipulate these processes. Initial studies are now underway to test whether modification of synaptic plasticity by neurostimulation can improve the recovery of motor function in patients after stroke. Copyright © 2010 S.

متن کاملParallel processing in human audition and post-lesion plasticity
Recent activation and electrophysiological studies have demonstrated that sound recognition and localization are processed in two distinct cortical networks that are each present in both hemispheres. Sound recognition and/or localization may be, however, disrupted by purely unilateral damage, suggesting that processing within one hemisphere may not be sufficient or may be disturbed by the contr...
متن کاملDEVELOPMENT OF A DC MOTOR ASSISTED HYDRAULIC BRAKING SYSTEM FOR AUTOMOTIVE USE
ABSTRACT: Deceleration or stopping the vehicle without any diving and lateral acceleration is essential to develop an effective braking system. The hydraulic braking system with intelligent braking called Antilock Braking system (ABS) and Electronic Stability Control (ESC) has been introduced. However, due to the insufficient human effort, the ABS and ESC to some extent, not function well...
متن کاملModification of practice-dependent plasticity in human motor cortex by neuromodulators.
Practice-dependent plasticity underlies motor learning in everyday life and motor relearning after lesions of the nervous system. Previous studies showed that practice-dependent plasticity is modifiable by neuromodulating transmitters such as norepinephrine (NE), dopamine (DA) or acetylcholine (ACh). Here we explored, for the first time comprehensively and systematically, the modifying effects ...
متن کاملPlasticity Resembling Spike-Timing Dependent Synaptic Plasticity: The Evidence in Human Cortex
Spike-timing dependent plasticity (STDP) has been studied extensively in a variety of animal models during the past decade but whether it can be studied at the systems level of the human cortex has been a matter of debate. Only recently newly developed non-invasive brain stimulation techniques such as transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) have made it possible to induce and assess timing depe...
متن کاملEffect of Rhythmic Movements on working Memory, Motor Proficiency and Writing Skills in the Students with Dysgraphia
Introduction: One of the most common abnormalities of learning is dysgraphia, which refers to a serious defect in mechanical writing skills. Children with dysgraphia may not be able to perform the actions required to write or transfer information within the hearing or vision to exercise and poorly performing in cognitive skills such as organization, attention and memory. Evidence suggests that ...
