Previous research has compared the effects of trunk inclination angle on muscle activation using barbells and Smith machines in men. Whether similar effects occur with the use of dumbbells or in women remains unknown. The purpose was to compare upper extremity surface electromyographical (EMG) activity between dumbbell bench, incline, and shoulder presses. Dominate arm EMG data were recorded fo...

The habit-forming effects of abused drugs depend on the mesocorticolimbic dopamine system innervating the nucleus accumbens (NAcc). To examine whether different NAcc subterritories (core and medial shell) exhibit a differential distribution of neurons showing phasic firing patterns correlated with drug-seeking behavior, rats were trained to self-administer cocaine, and activity of single NAcc n...

In the pharmaceutical industry is no longer worked without instrumented tablet presses. The recording of the press information at different parameters of each test series and batches in the development of tablets and an online measurement and control of pressing forces during the production process is becoming increasingly important. Eccentric tablet presses were equipped with sensors for the u...

Single unit activity was recorded from the thalamus of rhesus monkeys while they performed a delayed-alternation bar-pressing task. Nine units in the dorsomedial nucleus of the thalamus were activated prior to the lever presses of the contralateral hand, as indicated by an EMG of the triceps brachii muscle. In this same region, no units were found that became active during the delay period. In ...

Voluntary action - in particular the ability to produce desired effects in the environment - is fundamental to human existence. According to ideomotor theory we can achieve goals in the environment by means of anticipating their outcomes. We aimed at providing neurophysiological evidence for the assumption that performing actions calls for the activation of brain areas associated with the senso...
