A blended neurostimulation protocol to delineate cortico-muscular and spino-muscular dynamics following neuroplastic adaptation
In this paper we propose a novel neurostimulation protocol that provides an intervention-based assessment to distinguish the contributions of different motor control networks in the cortico-spinal system. Specifically, we use a combination of non-invasive brain stimulation and neuromuscular stimulation to probe neuromuscular system behavior with targeted impulse-response system identification. In this protocol, we use an in-house developed human-machine interface (HMI) for an isotonic wrist movement task, where the user controls a cursor on-screen. During the task, we generate unique motor evoked potentials based on trigge...

Your Houseplants Have Some Powerful Health Benefits
Every morning, I spring out of bed, eager to check on my housemates: Alvin the monstera albo, Allison the other albo, Dominic the philodendron domesticum variegated, and Connie the Thai constellation monstera. Yes, my vegetal friends all have names—which you understand if you’re a plant person, too. Collecting and caring for houseplants boomed in popularity during the pandemic, especially among younger adults who often don’t have abundant outdoor space. Americans spent $8.5 billion more on gardening-related items in 2020 than in 2019, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. Vibrant communities blossomed on s...

Increased Risk of Stroke Linked to Stress at Home, Work
Experiencing multiple stressful events or chronic stress at home or at work over the course of a year raises the risk of several types of stroke, astudy published today inJAMA Network Open has found. However, the study also suggests that having a greater sense of control over the situations and experiences that affect one ’s life—a greater locus of control—may help counter the impact of stress on stroke risk.Catriona Reddin, M.B., of the University of Galway in Ireland and colleagues analyzed data from 26,812 participants in the INTERSTROKE study, an international case-control study of risk factors for stroke. Among ...

Artificial intelligence for early stroke diagnosis in acute vestibular syndrome
ConclusionAI can accurately diagnose a vestibular stroke by using unprocessed vHIT time series. The quantification of eye- and head movements with the use of machine learning and AI can serve in the future for an automated diagnosis in ED patients with acute dizziness. The application of different neural network architectures can potentially further improve performance and enable direct inference from raw video recordings.

How Virtual Reality Is Expanding Health Care
Clinicians can help patients recover from strokes while they’re anywhere in the world—even states or countries far away from each other—by using a combination of robotics and virtual-reality devices. It’s happening at Georgia Institute of Technology, where Nick Housley runs the Sensorimotor Integration Lab. There, patients undergoing neurorehabilitation, including those recovering from a stroke, are outfitted with robotic devices called Motus, which are strapped to their arms and legs. The goal: to speed up recovery and assist with rehabilitation exercises. Patients and practitioners using the syste...

Q & A: Dr. Thomas Rando on preventing age-related diseases and turning discoveries into cures
For Dr. Thomas Rando, the path to becoming a physician-scientist began with something that hedidn ’t learn in high school biology.After one class that touched on the connections between neurons and muscle fibers, Rando took it upon to himself to find all the information he could about how cells communicate through electrical signals.Soon, he began pursuing that interest at Harvard University, where he completed his undergraduate work, a doctorate in cell and developmental biology and his medical degree.Rando joined the neurology faculty at the Stanford University School of Medicine in 1995.There, he founded a clinic to t...

Acute Vestibular Syndrome
This article provides a practical approach to acute vestibular syndrome while highlighting recent research advances. RECENT FINDINGS Acute vestibular syndrome is defined as sudden-onset, continuous vertigo lasting longer than 24 hours with associated nausea and vomiting, all of which are worsened with head movement. Acute vestibular syndrome is provoked by a variety of central and peripheral causes, the most common of which are vestibular neuritis and acute stroke (posterior circulation). A clinical approach focusing on timing, associated history, and ocular motor findings can improve diagnostic accuracy and is more...

Learning processes in elementary nervous systems §
J Integr Neurosci. 2020 Dec 30;19(4):673-678. doi: 10.31083/j.jin.2020.04.318.ABSTRACTInvertebrate animal models show simple behaviors supported by neural circuits easily accessible for experimentation and yet complex enough to provide necessary information on the cellular and molecular mechanisms that govern the vertebrate nervous system's function. The mechanisms underlying simple forms of learning have been extensively studied in the marine gastropod Aplysia californica, in which elementary non-associative learning of the behavioral habituation and sensitization type has been studied using the gill withdrawal reflex. A ...
