In between-hand choice reaction time tasks, the motor cortex involved in the required response (contralateral) has been shown to be activated while the motor cortex involved in the non-required response (ipsilateral) has been shown to be inhibited. The aim of the present study was to test the hypothesis that ipsilateral inhibition reflects an active mechanism aimed at preventing errors. To this end, the risk of committing errors in between-hand choice reaction time tasks was manipulated by introducing a response probability bias. The surface Laplacian transforms of electroencephalographic waves recorded over the motor cortices, contralateral and ipsilateral to the responding hand were compared. Results showed that contralateral activation was not modulated by the risk of committing errors while ipsilateral inhibition was sensitive to this risk in a gradual manner: the higher the risk, the stronger the inhibition.

Patient Outcomes After Peripheral Nerve Injury Depend on Bimanual Dexterity and Preserved Use of the Affected Hand.

Background: Little is known about how peripheral nerve injury affects human performance, behavior, and life. Hand use choices are important for rehabilitation after unilateral impairment, but rarely measured, and are not changed by the normal course of rehabilitation and daily life.
Objective: To identify the relationship between hand use (L/R choices), motor performance, and patient-centered outcomes.
Clinical outcomes of laparoscopic versus open right hepatectomy for liver tumors: A meta-analysis.

Background: Laparoscopic right hepatectomy (LRH) is one of the most challenging procedures. Right liver resections have been always performed in open procedure and open right hepatectomy (ORH) was initially considered as routine way. Moreover, it is unclear how beneficial the minimally invasive technique is to patients; thus, we conducted a meta-analysis to acquire a more reliable conclusion about the feasibility and safety of LRH compared with ORH.

From an embodiment perspective, action and cognition influence each other constantly. This interaction has been utilized in mouse-tracking studies to infer cognitive states from movements, assuming a continuous manifestation of cognitive processing into movement. However, it is mostly unknown how this manifestation is affected by the variety of possible design choices in mouse-tracking paradigms.

Past work has shown that cued manual responses in visuo-identity tasks bind to irrelevant stimulus features, present at the time these responses were executed (prime trial). These response bindings manifested their existence via impacts on later related processing (probe trial). Here, we extended this prior research by showing that response binding is likely a pervasive processing characteristic.

This study examines two contrasting explanations for early tendencies to fight and flee. According to a stimulus-driven explanation, goal-incompatible stimuli that are easy/difficult to control lead to the tendency to fight/flee. According to a goal-directed explanation, on the other hand, the tendency to fight/flee occurs when the expected utility of fighting/fleeing is the highest.
