Functions of the neocortex depend on its bidirectional communication with the thalamus, via
cortico-thalamo-cortical (CTC) loops. Recent work dissecting the synaptic connectivity in …

Context: Only 55% of the athletes return to competitive sports after an anterior cruciate
ligament (ACL) injury. Athletes younger than 25 years who return to sports have a second …

Central nervous system (CNS) injuries, including stroke, traumatic brain injury, and spinal
cord injury, are leading causes of long-term disability. It is estimated that more than half of …

Sensory-guided limb control relies on communication across sensorimotor loops. For active
touch with the hand, the longest loop is the transcortical continuation of ascending …

Background Hand proprioception is essential for fine movements and therefore many
activities of daily living. Although frequently impaired after stroke, it is unclear how hand …

Youth athletes are ideal candidates for novel therapeutic motor learning interventions that
leverage the plasticity of the central nervous system to promote desirable biomechanical …

Stroke is a central nervous system disease that causes structural lesions and functional
impairments of the brain, resulting in varying types, and degrees of dysfunction. The bimodal …

Background Neurological injuries such as stroke often differentially impair hand motor and
somatosensory function, as well as the interplay between the two, which leads to limitations …

The central nervous system (CNS) integrates sensory and motor information to acquire
skilled movements, known as sensory-motor integration (SMI). The reciprocal interaction of …

Motor recovery of wrist and fingers is still a great challenge for chronic stroke survivors. The
present study aimed to verify the efficiency of motor imagery based brain-computer interface …
