Development of corticospinal (CS) terminations is activity dependent. In the cat, activity-dependent refinement of termination topography occurs between weeks 3 and 6. Initially, sparse terminals are present in the gray matter bilaterally, including the motor nuclei. By week 6, virtually all motor nuclear terminations are eliminated, as are most ipsilateral terminations. In this study, we deter...

objectives: the objective of this study was to examine the psychometric properties of the ‘physical well-being, health and motor development inventory’ used to assess school readiness in ordinary and mentally retarded pre-school children. methods: a descriptive study examining validity was conducted using random sampling. two hundred students (160 ordinary and 40 mentally retarded children) wer...

The influence of an increase or a decrease in the stimulation frequency on tension development during a tetanus was studied in motor units of the rat medial gastrocnemius muscle. These effects were tested in one tetanus evoked at two frequencies of stimulation, a lower immediately followed by a higher one or the reverse. For all fast motor units it was observed that after the first part of a te...

Electrical stimulation of deep brain structures, such as globus pallidus and subthalamic nucleus, is widely accepted as a therapeutic tool for patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). Cortical stimulation either with epidural implanted electrodes or repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation can be associated with motor function enhancement in PD. We aimed to study the effects of another nonin...

Motor cortex transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) has been shown to enhance motor learning in healthy adults as well as various neurological conditions. However, there has been limited data on whether tDCS enhances jaw motor performance during different oral behaviors such as speech, maximum syllable repetition, and chewing. Because the effects of anodal and cathodal stimulation are k...

background: learning disability is one of the most noticed subjects for behavioral specialists. most of the learning difficulties are caused by senso-motor development and neurological organization. the main purpose of the present research is to examine the role of delayed perceptual-motor development and brain damage in origination of expressive writing disorder (ewd).   methods: the studied s...

The growth and development of infants is a golden period which also critical in person's early life at the age 0-12 months. Motor disorder that causes developmental delays due to many things, including abnormalities muscle tone lack stimulation for baby. In Indonesia alone, there are 5-10% children estimated experience delays. At simultaneous weighing toddlers Demak 2020 it was found out 97,129...
