BACKGROUND Motor deficits are a critical component of the clinical characteristics of patients with spinocerebellar ataxia type 2. However, there is no current information on the preclinical manifestation of those motor deficits in presymptomatic gene carriers. To further understand and characterize the onset of the clinical manifestation in this disease, we tested presymptomatic spinocerebella...

It is well known that electrical stimulation of primary somatosensory cortex (SI) evokes movements that resemble those evoked from primary motor cortex. These findings have led to the concept that SI may possess motor capabilities paralleling those of motor cortex and speculation that SI could function as a robust relay mediating motor responses from central and peripheral inputs. The purpose o...

It was recently presented that the Reluctance Synchronous Motor (RSM) is well suited for variable gear electric as well as for hybrid electric vehicles. This paper deeply investigates the capabilities of a Reluctance Synchronous Motor and proposes a multi parameter estimation scheme for Reluctance Synchronous Motor under variable-speed control. The proposed control evaluation model is fully eff...

An efficient and fast auditory-motor network is a basic resource for trained musicians due to the importance of motor anticipation of sound production in musical performance. When playing an instrument, motor performance always goes along with the production of sounds and the integration between both modalities plays an essential role in the course of musical training. The aim of the present st...

A recent study has shown that, unusually, both the sensory and motor capabilities of an electric fish are omnidirectional. This matching of motor and sensory spaces helps the fish to hunt prey efficiently - particularly important given their energetically costly active sensory system.
