Exploring Self-Paced Embodiable Neurofeedback for Post-stroke Motor Rehabilitation.

Neurofeedback-guided motor-imagery training (NF-MIT) has been proposed as a promising intervention following upper limb motor impairment. In this intervention, paretic stroke patients receive online feedback about their brain activity while conducting a motor-imagery (MI) task with the paretic limb. Typically, the feedback provided in NF-MIT protocols is an abstract visual signal based on a fixed trial.

A mind-brain-body dataset of MRI, EEG, cognition, emotion, and peripheral physiology in young and old adults.

We present a publicly available dataset of 227 healthy participants comprising a young (N=153, 25.1±3.1 years, range 20-35 years, 45 female) and an elderly group (N=74, 67.

The Senses of Agency and Ownership: A Review.

Usually, we do not question that we possess a body and act upon the world. This pre-reflective awareness of being a bodily and agentive self can, however, be disrupted by different clinical conditions. Whereas sense of ownership (SoO) describes the feeling of mineness toward one's own body parts, feelings or thoughts, sense of agency (SoA) refers to the experience of initiating and controlling an action.

Aminoglycoside block of P2X2 receptors heterologously expressed in Xenopus laevis oocytes.

Aminoglycosides are polycationic antibiotics that have been shown to block a variety of cation channels. The inhibitory effect of externally applied aminoglycosides on P2X2 receptor currents was examined after heterologous expression in Xenopus laevis oocytes using the two-electrode voltage-clamp technique. All of the aminoglycosides tested inhibited the ATP-evoked responses with potencies ranging from 71 μM to 2 mM (IC(50) values).

Evaluation of parameters critical for observing nucleic acids inside living Xenopus laevis oocytes by in-cell NMR spectroscopy.

In-cell NMR spectroscopy of proteins in different cellular environments is a well-established technique that, however, has not been applied to nucleic acids so far. Here, we show that isotopically labeled DNA and RNA can be observed inside the eukaryotic environment of Xenopus laevis oocytes by in-cell NMR spectroscopy. One limiting factor for the observation of nucleic acids in Xenopus oocytes is their reduced stability.
