Article Synopsis
- The study explores how different types of feedback (reinforcement and error) influence movement exploration, revealing distinct roles for the basal ganglia (linked to reinforcement) and the cerebellum (linked to error correction).
- Experiments conducted with both neurotypical individuals and those with Parkinson's disease show that reinforcement feedback encourages exploration, while error feedback suppresses it; together they can counteract each other.
- Findings indicate that individuals with Parkinson's have reduced exploration abilities when receiving reinforcement feedback, which could inform strategies for neurorehabilitation.
The ability to engineer and predict drug release behavior during treatment is critical to the design and implementation of effective drug delivery systems. In this study, a drug delivery system consisting of a methacrylate-based polymer and flurbiprofen was studied, and its release profile in a controlled phosphate-buffered saline solution was characterized. The polymer, which was 3D printed and processed in supercritical carbon dioxide under different temperature and pressure settings, showed sustained drug release over a prolonged period.

They typically possess wings with long bristles on the fringes and use a clap-and-fling mechanism to augment lift. These unique solutions to the extreme conditions of flight at tiny sizes (<2 mm body length) suggest that natural selection has optimized wing design for better aerodynamic performance.
