Published: December 2014

Purpose Of Review: Stroke rehabilitation needs to take major steps forward to reduce functional disability for survivors. In this article, we suggest that spatial retraining might greatly increase the efficiency and efficacy of motor rehabilitation, directly addressing the burden and cost of paralysis after stroke.

Recent Findings: Combining motor and cognitive treatment may be practical, as well as addressing the needs after moderate-to-severe stroke. Spatial neglect could suppress motor recovery and reduce motor learning, even when patients receive appropriate rehabilitation to build strength, dexterity, and endurance. Spatial neglect rehabilitation acts to promote motor as well as visual-perceptual recovery. These findings, and the previous underemphasized studies, make a strong case for combining spatial neglect treatment with traditional exercise training. Spatial neglect therapies might also provide motor stimulation if people cannot participate in intensive movement therapies because of limited strength and endurance after stroke.

Summary: Spatial retraining, currently used selectively after right-brain stroke, may be broadly useful after stroke to promote rapid motor recovery.

Background: Computed tomography angiography (CTA) is used to screen for coronary artery calcification. As the coronary artery has complicated structure and tiny lumen, manual screening is a time-consuming task. Recently, many deep learning methods have been proposed for the segmentation (SEG) of coronary artery and calcification, however, they often neglect leveraging related anatomical prior knowledge, resulting in low accuracy and instability.

MHNet: Multi-view High-Order Network for Diagnosing Neurodevelopmental Disorders Using Resting-State fMRI.

Deep learning models have shown promise in diagnosing neurodevelopmental disorders (NDD) like ASD and ADHD. However, many models either use graph neural networks (GNN) to construct single-level brain functional networks (BFNs) or employ spatial convolution filtering for local information extraction from rs-fMRI data, often neglecting high-order features crucial for NDD classification. We introduce a Multi-view High-order Network (MHNet) to capture hierarchical and high-order features from multi-view BFNs derived from rs-fMRI data for NDD prediction.

Background: Due to the complexity and cost of preparing histopathological slides, deep learning-based methods have been developed to generate high-quality histological images. However, existing approaches primarily focus on spatial domain information, neglecting the periodic information in the frequency domain and the complementary relationship between the two domains. In this paper, we proposed a generative adversarial network that employs a cross-attention mechanism to extract and fuse features across spatial and frequency domains.

Left neck and right biceps muscle vibrations have similar effects on perceived body orientation.

Vibrating muscles to manipulate proprioceptive input creates the sensation of an apparent change in body position. This study investigates whether vibrating the right biceps muscle has similar effects as vibrating the left posterior neck muscles. Based on previous observations, we hypothesized that both types of muscle vibration would shift the perception of healthy subjects' subjective straight-ahead (SSA) orientation in the horizontal plane to the left.

Gesture recognition technology based on millimeter-wave radar can recognize and classify user gestures in non-contact scenarios. To address the complexity of data processing with multi-feature inputs in neural networks and the poor recognition performance with single-feature inputs, this paper proposes a gesture recognition algorithm based on esNet ong Short-Term Memory with an ttention Mechanism (RLA). In the aspect of signal processing in RLA, a range-Doppler map is obtained through the extraction of the range and velocity features in the original mmWave radar signal.
