First article as author after two articles as co-author, recognition as a doctoral student ?? ! Extremely grateful to be part of Gabriel Moisan 's team and to evolve withtin the GRAN laboratory at UQTR. This article is a project related to my thesis which shows a greater effectiveness of rigid foot orthoses in alter lower limb biomechanics during gaits compared to flexible foot orthoses. It demonstrates the moderate correlation between the supination resistance and the effects of foot orthoses on foot and ankle biomechanics. Next step ? Publish on a study of my thesis

Helping people with amputation walk naturally Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) MASSACHUSETTS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY A new prosthesis, driven by the nervous system, helps people with amputation walk naturally. Using a new type of surgical intervention and neuroprosthetic interface, MIT researchers, in collaboration with colleagues from Brigham and Women’s Hospital, have shown that a natural walking gait is achievable using a prosthetic leg fully driven by the body’s own nervous system. The surgical amputation procedure reconnects muscles in the residual limb, which allows patients to receive “proprioceptive” feedback about where their prosthetic limb is in space.

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology is an independent, coeducational, privately endowed university in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Our mission is to advance knowledge; to educate students in science, engineering, technology, humanities and social sciences; and to tackle the most pressing problems facing the world today. We are a community of hands-on problem-solvers in love with fundamental science and eager to make the world a better place. The MIT YouTube channel features videos about all types of MIT research, including the robot cheetah, LIGO, gravitational waves, mathematics, and bombardier beetles, as well as videos on origami, time capsules, and other aspects of life and culture on the MIT campus. Our goal is to open the doors of MIT and bring the Institute to the world through video. https://lnkd.in/gFRbk_f4

Hello GDB Community! We are proud to present our Spring Quarter Research Triad, which features a focus on optical and cognitive health, more specifically, optical health & cognitive function in Rhesus Macaques. Our spotlight features current GDB student Mrinal Prabhakar, who is mentored by Dr. Yiu. Mrinal is currently conducting her practicum, which involves evaluating the eye images and identifying a relationship between photoreceptor cell thickness and cognitive performance! You can learn more about Mrinal and her research project here: https://lnkd.in/gwM25W_h At UC Davis, the UC Davis Center for Mind and Brain is engaged in comparable research endeavors. Within this center, the Visual Cognition Lab, led by Dr. John M. Henderson, investigates the reception and processing of information in memory. Additionally, the lab explores how cognitive processes manipulate this information to influence behavior and cognition. Further information about their work can be found here:? https://lnkd.in/gZXrGYhr Outside of UC Davis, similar research is underway at Ohio State University within their Vision and Neuroscience Lab. This lab conducts various experiments and studies on visual perception, eye movements, memory, object perception, action, spatial attention, and other related areas. Their efforts aim to deepen our comprehension of visual attention and eye movement through methodologies such as neuroimaging and computational analyses, and more. Which you learn more about here. https://lnkd.in/gcBzws2A?

7-foot-9 Gators freshman, Olivier Rioux, is the tallest basketball player ever at 18 yrs old. How is he not tripping over himself? tcMEPs have the answer... Olivier was 6-foot-10 by 12 and 7-foot-5 by 15. It's as if he was in a perpetual growth spurt. While we've all seen the big kids lose some coordination and need to "learn" how to move with their new big body, it's still a magnificent feat of adaptation. With a number of nerve fibers remaining constant, how is the body doing it? Talwar, et al took a stab at it. "This study utilized data from patients who underwent surgical procedures with neuromonitoring using Transcranial Motor Evoked Potentials (TcMEPs)... Our study has clearly demonstrated the stability of latencies across age groups, with the adaptation strategy being a proportional increase in conduction velocity to counterbalance the structural and anatomical changes that occur with growth... this increased conduction velocity ensures that timing, latencies, and sequencing of events for coordinated movement remain stable, thereby avoiding the need for adjustments in neural strategies." And how does our nervous system achieve it? "Nodal and internodal diameters reached adult values by the age of 4-5 years, with a consistent ratio between internodal and paranodal diameters. These results reinforce the concept that as the nervous system matures, structural changes support increased conduction velocity while latencies remain constant." Reports coming out Olivier is a project with a unique upside. He might even continue to grow and adapt more. I'll be watching. Go Gata. Tania Talwar, Uditi Gupta, Sreya Konusu, et al.

Hi everyone! I am very proud of myself that I could eventually finish one of the best courses in neuroscience about neuroimaging! This course is effective approach for fundamental principles of different types of brain imaging such as MRI,FMRI,DTI,PI,CT,PETI. Neuroimaging methods are used with increasing frequency in clinical practice and basic research. Designed for students and professionals, this course will introduce the basic principles of neuroimaging methods as applied to human subjects research and introduce the neuroscience concepts and terminology necessary for a basic understanding of neuroimaging applications. Topics include the history of neuroimaging, an introduction to neuroimaging physics and image formation, as well as an overview of different neuroimaging applications, including functional MRI, diffusion tensor imaging, magnetic resonance spectroscopy, perfusion imaging, and positron emission tomography imaging. Each will be reviewed in the context of their specific methods, source of signal, goals, and limitations. The course will also introduce basic neuroscience concepts necessary to understand the implementation of neuroimaging methods, including structural and functional human neuroanatomy, cognitive domains, and experimental design.

I'm delighted to share that my article, "Integration of music-based game approaches with wearable devices for hand neurorehabilitation: a narrative review," has been published in the Journal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation, part of Springer Nature Group. This Q1 journal, ranked second in Rehabilitation by Scopus, showcases the transformative impact of neuroscience and biomedical engineering on physical medicine and rehabilitation. This paper explores how combining neurologic music therapy with wearable devices and game-based therapies can enhance neuroplasticity, which is crucial for restoring hand functionality in individuals with neurological disorders. I want to extend my thanks to my professors, Victoria E. Abarca Pino MSc and Dante Elias, for their invaluable guidance and support. A special thanks to the Laboratory of Biomechanics and Applied Robotics Research Laboratory at Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú for providing the resources and environment that made this work possible. ??
