Control of action as mediated by the human frontal lobe (Fragment)

Rüdiger J. Seitz · Klaus Martin Stephan, Ferdinand Binkofski. Abstract Conscious control of action involves the voluntary initiation and the continuous adjustment of motor activity. Neuroimaging data provide evidence that the plan for a movement is developed with respect to the behavioral context in prefrontal cortex, while the synergies of a motor program are coded …

Muscle β1D Integrin Reinforces the Cytoskeleton–Matrix Link: Modulation of Integrin Adhesive Function by Alternative Splicing (Fragment)

Alexey M. Belkin, S. Francesco Retta. Department of Cell Biology and Anatomy, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, North Carolina 27599. Abstract. Expression of muscle-specific b 1D integrin with an alternatively spliced cytoplasmic domain in CHO and GD25, b 1 integrin-minus cells leads to their phenotypic conversion.B 1D-transfected nonmuscle cells display rounded morphology, lack …

Reversible unfolding of fibronectin type III and immunoglobulin domains provides the structural basis for stretch and elasticity of titin and fibronectin (Fragment)

HAROLD P. ERICKSON Departmento of Cell Biology, Duke University Medical Center, Durham, NC 27705 ABSTRACT The elastic protein titin comprises a tandem array of fibronectin type m and immunoglobulin domains, which are structurally similar 7-strand fl-sandwiches. A proposed mechanism for stretching titin, by sequential denaturation of individual fibronectin type II-immunoglobulin domains in response to applied …

Plasticity of adult sensorimotor representations (Fragment)

John P Donoghue. Brown University, Providence, USA. Plasticity of sensory and motor cortical and subcortical representations in the adult brain appears to be a general phenomenon in animals that has now been extended to humans. There is a growing understanding of the mechanisms and rules that regulate the form and extent of reorganization; these appear …

The significance of neuroscience for philosophy (Fragment)

Patricia Smith Churchland. Patricia Smith Churchland is at the Philosophy Department, University of California, San Diego, La Jolla, CA 92092, USA. The ground is shifting under the traditional approaches to problems in the philosophy of mind. Earlier doctrines concernin & the independence of cognition from the brain now appear untenable. As neuroscience uncovers more about …

Designing “lifestyle interventions” with the brain in mind (Fragment)

Mark R. Cobain a, John P. Foreyt b, a Unilever Corporate Research, Colworth House, Sharnbrook, Bedfordshire MK46 4AA, UK Abstract The central hypothesis examined in this issue is that insulin resistance promotes maladaptive brain function and contributes to reduced neuronal plasticity, potentially accelerating brain aging. Therefore, if we were to prevent or treat insulin resistance, …

John Eccles’ pioneering role in understanding central synaptic transmission (Fragment)

Robert E. Burke. Laboratory of Neural Control, National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD 20895, USA. Abstract This chapter deals with the central role that Sir John Eccles played in the elucidation of the mechanisms of synaptic transmission within the central nervous system during the three decades between the …
