Talker identification is not improved by lexical access in the absence of familiar phonology
Listeners identify talkers more accurately when they are familiar with both the sounds and words of the language being spoken. It is unknown whether lexical information alone can facilitate talker identification in the ... -
Pitch contour perception test (PCPT)
(2014-08-06)A computer-based assessment in PsychoPy to ascertain aptitude for lexical tone learning. The zip archive includes stimulus files, stimulus-presentation scripts, methods and procedure descriptions, and an annotated bibliography. ... -
Stepping Stability: Effects of Sensory Perturbation
(BioMed Central, 2005-5-27)BACKGROUND Few tools exist for quantifying locomotor stability in balance impaired populations. The objective of this study was to develop and evaluate a technique for quantifying stability of stepping in healthy people ... -
Short-Term Locomotor Adaptation to a Robotic Ankle Exoskeleton Does not Alter Soleus Hoffmann Reflex Amplitude
(BioMed Central, 2010-7-26)BACKGROUND To improve design of robotic lower limb exoskeletons for gait rehabilitation, it is critical to identify neural mechanisms that govern locomotor adaptation to robotic assistance. Previously, we demonstrated ... -
Semi-Automated Reconstruction of Neural Processes from Large Numbers of Fluorescence Images
(Public Library of Science, 2009-5-21)We introduce a method for large scale reconstruction of complex bundles of neural processes from fluorescent image stacks. We imaged yellow fluorescent protein labeled axons that innervated a whole muscle, as well as ... -
Nonoptimal Component Placement, but Short Processing Paths, Due to Long-Distance Projections in Neural Systems
(Public Library of Science, 2006-7-21)It has been suggested that neural systems across several scales of organization show optimal component placement, in which any spatial rearrangement of the components would lead to an increase of total wiring. Using extensive ... -
Role of Mechanical Factors in the Morphology of the Primate Cerebral Cortex
(Public Library of Science, 2006-3-24)The convoluted cortex of primates is instantly recognizable in its principal morphologic features, yet puzzling in its complex finer structure. Various hypotheses have been proposed about the mechanisms of its formation. ... -
Stretch Activates Human Myometrium via ERK, Caldesmon and Focal Adhesion Signaling
(Public Library of Science, 2009-10-16)An incomplete understanding of the molecular mechanisms responsible for myometrial activation from the quiescent pregnant state to the active contractile state during labor has hindered the development of effective therapies ... -
Parallel Driving and Modulatory Pathways Link the Prefrontal Cortex and Thalamus
(Public Library of Science, 2007-9-5)Pathways linking the thalamus and cortex mediate our daily shifts from states of attention to quiet rest, or sleep, yet little is known about their architecture in high-order neural systems associated with cognition, emotion ... -

Identification of Genes that Elicit Disuse Muscle Atrophy via the Transcription Factors p50 and Bcl-3
(Public Library of Science, 2011-1-13)Skeletal muscle atrophy is a debilitating condition associated with weakness, fatigue, and reduced functional capacity. Nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-κB) transcription factors play a critical role in atrophy. Knockout of genes ... -
Prdm1 (Blimp-1) and the Expression of Fast and Slow Myosin Heavy Chain Isoforms during Avian Myogenesis In Vitro
(Public Library of Science, 2010-4-1)BACKGROUND. Multiple types of fast and slow skeletal muscle fibers form during early embryogenesis in vertebrates. In zebrafish, formation of the earliest slow myofibers in fin muscles requires expression of the zinc-finger ... -
Predicting the Connectivity of Primate Cortical Networks from Topological and Spatial Node Properties
(BioMed Central, 2007-3-8)BACKGROUND. The organization of the connectivity between mammalian cortical areas has become a major subject of study, because of its important role in scaffolding the macroscopic aspects of animal behavior and intelligence. ... -
A Wireless Brain-Machine Interface for Real-Time Speech Synthesis
(Public Library of Science, 2009-12-9)BACKGROUND. Brain-machine interfaces (BMIs) involving electrodes implanted into the human cerebral cortex have recently been developed in an attempt to restore function to profoundly paralyzed individuals. Current BMIs for ... -
A Proposal for a Coordinated Effort for the Determination of Brainwide Neuroanatomical Connectivity in Model Organisms at a Mesoscopic Scale
(Public Library of Science, 2009-3-27)In this era of complete genomes, our knowledge of neuroanatomical circuitry remains surprisingly sparse. Such knowledge is critical, however, for both basic and clinical research into brain function. Here we advocate for ... -
Parasympathetic Functions in Children with Sensory Processing Disorder
(Frontiers Research Foundation, 2010-03-09)The overall goal of this study was to determine if parasympathetic nervous system (PsNS) activity is a significant biomarker of sensory processing difficulties in children. Several studies have demonstrated that PsNS ... -

Optimal Hierarchical Modular Topologies for Producing Limited Sustained Activation of Neural Networks
(Frontiers Research Foundation, 2010-05-14)An essential requirement for the representation of functional patterns in complex neural networks, such as the mammalian cerebral cortex, is the existence of stable regimes of network activation, typically arising from a ... -
Usability of a Barcode Scanning System as a Means of Data Entry on a PDA for Self-Report Health Outcome Questionnaires: A Pilot Study in Individuals Over 60 Years of Age
(BioMed Central, 2006-12-21)BACKGROUND: Throughout the medical and paramedical professions, self-report health status questionnaires are used to gather patient-reported outcome measures. The objective of this pilot study was to evaluate in individuals ...
