vincristine (vcr) as a frequently used antimitotic agent which is commonly prescribed for wide spectrum of neoplasm, causes mixed sensorimotor neuropathy. several evidences show lithium could be a neuroprotective agent, therefore to assess whether a pretreatment and at subtherapeutic dose it could prevent the peripheral neuropathy produced by vcr, rats were treated with vcr 0.1mg/kg i.p. for 3 ...

Behavioral studies show that humans and other animals can estimate the numerosity of both external stimuli self-produced actions.Recent psychophysical using motor-adaptation techniques have characterized link between action magnitude perception, advancing concept a sensorimotor system encoding internally generated actions.The might reside in parietal cortex. Incoming sensory input provides info...

• Adult mouse displayed increased motor activity after postnatal corticosterone injections. A better rotorod acquisition was obtained in adult Postnatal injections facilitated visomotor control mouse. altered cerebellar morphology Glucocorticoids are involved the developing brain but, excessive amounts, may depress its growth and cause psychomotor development disorders. To test long-term vulner...

The developmental period of the nervous system is carefully orchestrated and highly vulnerable to alterations. One crucial factor of a properly-functioning nervous system is the synapse, as synaptic signaling is critical for the formation and maturation of neural circuits. Studies show that genetic and environmental impacts can affect diverse components of synaptic function. Importantly, synapt...

Human visual processing is subject to a dynamic influx of visual information. Visual working memory (VWM) allows for maintaining relevant visual information available for subsequent behavior. According to the dominating view, VWM recruits sensory processing areas to maintain this visual information online (i.e., the ‘sensory recruitment’ hypothesis). In her recent Trends in Cognitive Sciences a...

The cognitive analysis of adult language disorders continues to draw heavily on linguistic theory, but increasingly it reflects the influence of connectionist, spreading activation models of cognition. In the area of spoken word production, 'localist' connectionist models represent a natural evolution from the psycholingistic theories of earlier decades. By contrast, the parallel distributed pr...

BACKGROUND Sensorimotor function is degraded in patients after lower limb arthroplasty. Sensorimotor training is thought to improve sensorimotor skills, however, the optimal training stimulus with regard to volume, frequency, duration, and intensity is still unknown. The aim of this study, therefore, was to firstly quantify the progression of sensorimotor function after total hip (THA) or knee ...

LEARNING TO PERCEIVE IS FACED WITH A CLASSICAL PARADOX if understanding is required for perception, how can we learn to perceive something new, something we do not yet understand? According to the sensorimotor approach, perception involves mastery of regular sensorimotor co-variations that depend on the agent and the environment, also known as the "laws" of sensorimotor contingencies (SMCs). In...

Objectives. It has been reported that disturbance in sensory and motor function may induce sensorimotor incongruence and produce pain, discomfort and other sensations in healthy volunteers. One study suggested that sensorimotor incongruent information to healthy subjects results in increased neuronal activity in the posterior parietal cortex (PPC) and dorsolateral prefrontal cortex; however, th...
