Differences in movement mechanics, electromyographic, and motor cortex activity between accurate and nonaccurate stepping.
What are the differences in mechanics, muscle, and motor cortex activity between accurate and nonaccurate movements? We addressed this question in relation to walking. We assessed full-body mechanics (229 variables), activity of 8 limb muscles, and activity of 63 neurons from the motor cortex forelimb representation during well-trained locomotion with different demands on the accuracy of paw pl...
متن کاملAccurate stepping on a narrow path: mechanics, EMG, and motor cortex activity in the cat.
How do cats manage to walk so graciously on top of narrow fences or windowsills high above the ground while apparently exerting little effort? In this study we investigated cat full-body mechanics and the activity of limb muscles and motor cortex during walking along a narrow 5-cm path on the ground. We tested the hypotheses that during narrow walking 1) lateral stability would be lower because...
متن کاملEffect of light on the activity of motor cortex neurons during locomotion
The motor cortex plays a critical role in accurate visually guided movements such as reaching and target stepping. However, the manner in which vision influences the movement-related activity of neurons in the motor cortex is not well understood. In this study we have investigated how the locomotion-related activity of neurons in the motor cortex is modified when subjects switch between walking...
متن کاملOptical Imaging of the Motor Cortex in the Brain in Order to Determine the Direction of the Hand Movements Using Functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS)
Introduction: In recent years, optical imaging has attracted a lot of attention from scholars as a non- aggressive, efficient method for evaluating the activities of the motor cortex in the brain. Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS (is a tool showing the hemodynamic changes in a cortical area of the brain according to optical principles. The present study has been de...
متن کاملIONOTROPIC 5-HT3 RECEPTOR AGONIST-INDUCED MOTOR RESPONSES IN THE HINDLIMBS OF PARAPLEGIC MICE Abbreviated Title: 5-HTR3 agonist-induced motor responses
Centrally expressed 5-HT 3 receptors (5-HTR 3) are well-known for their role in wakefulness, cognition and nociception. However, clear evidence of their participation in motor control is still lacking despite specific 5-HTR 3 expression in hindlimb motor areas of the spinal cord (i.e. lumbar laminae VII-IX). Here, we studied the acute effects of 4-amino-(6-chloro-2-pyridyl)-1-piperidine hydroch...
