Characterization and analysis of an MRI compatible robot design for wrist psychophysics and rehabilitation
… of stroke victims. In order to investigate the neurological processes involved in this therapy and evaluate its effectiveness a patented MRI compatible version of the wrist robot is being developed, so that therapy and brain imaging may be carried out simultaneously. Patient actuation is …

Exploring lateralized sensorimotor processing using somatosensory evoked potentials
… (SEPs) we can gain insight into the underlying neurological processes at the levels of the spinal cord and the cortex in response to movement and motor learning. The research conducted showed greater accuracy in the non-dominant limb following a novel tracing task. This was complimented by …

A cognitive approach to spatial patterning in literary narrative
… record, survive translation through the neural processes that support narrative production. Reviewing these neurological processes, specifically, episodic future thinking and language production - it is further argued here that the patterns are not interfered with by memory and language - they …

FMRI studies of effects of hearing status on audio-visual speech perception
… is to acquire a more complete picture of the neurological processes of visual influences on speech perception and to investigate effects of hearing status on AV speech perception. More specifically, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) was used to investigate the brain activity …

The effect of interference and time on forgetting in visual short-term memory
… to maintain the harmony of a complex set of neurological processes. However, the reason for losing memories has led to a contentious debate, especially in short-term memory. Theories based on temporal decay, temporal distinctiveness, interference or consolidation offer the main explanations …

Joint time-frequency analysis and filtering of single trial event-related potentials.
… stimuli. Their elicitation require cognitive processes such as response to a recognised stimulus. ERPs therefore provide clinical information by allowing an insight into neurological processes. The amplitude of an event-related potential is typically several times less than the background EEG. …

The impact of microgravity conditions on human gut microbiome
… by regulating metabolism, immune function, and neurological processes. Disruptions to its balance can lead to various health complications. Space exploration introduces unique environmental challenges, particularly microgravity, which can significantly alter the composition and functionality of …

To attract or to oscillate: Validating dynamics with behavior
… community as a means of describing how neurological processes implement behavioral computations. The framework argues that computations in neural systems are best explained through dynamical systems in which behaviorally-relevant variables are represented and manipulated via dynamical …

Investigating the role of cellular communication network factor 3 (CCN3) in central nervous system myelination and remyelination
… CNS suggest unidentified roles in a range of neurological processes. This thesis lays a framework of reference for future studies investigating the roles of CCN3 (and other CCN proteins) in myelination, remyelination and other neurological functions.

Accessible theatre: the application of human ethology and innate neurobiological systems to full-masked devised theatre practice
… examines the relationship between the devising processes of a full-masked performance, neurobiology, human ethology and the accessibility of audience reception (Bennett, 1994). Secondly, this is the first study to investigate how universal innate neurological processes can be used in the making …

SYNTHESIS, BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY AND CONFORMATIONAL ANALYSIS OF FRAGMENT ANALOGUES OF ALPHA-MELANOTROPIN (PEPTIDE, STRUCTURE-FUNCTION, PHENYLGLYCINE, NMR, TETRAHYDROISOQUINOLINE-3-CARBOXYLATE).
… implicated in a variety of physiological and neurological processes. It has been shown that substitution of D-phenylalanine in the seven position of this hormone led to an analogue with increased potency and prolonged biological activity. Furthermore, cyclization between the four and ten …

Loss of basigin expression in the uterus reduces fertility in female mice
… expressed in many cell types. It is involved in neurological processes, lymphocyte migration, angiogenesis, tissue remodeling and lactate transport. Our data show that Bsg is expressed in the reproductive tract and is important for fertility in both males and females. I hypothesized that loss of …

Identifying mechanisms of pyrethroid resistance in the navel orangeworm and novel methods of control
… Insect COEs are involved in developmental and neurological processes, pheromone processing and degradation, and metabolism of xenobiotics. Insect COEs are classified into subfamilies that include alpha-esterases, juvenile hormone esterases, integument esterases, beta-esterases, …
