modulated by various functional inputs, eg, volitional, physiological, and emotional. While …

Pain perception is the consequence of a complex interplay between activation and
inhibition. Noradrenergic pain modulation inhibits nociceptive transmission and pain …

Abstract Freezing of Gait (FoG) is a motor symptom of Parkinson's disease (PD) that
frequently occurs in the long-term sufferers of the disease. FoG may result to nursing home …

The reticulospinal tract (RtST) descends from the reticular formation and terminates in the
spinal cord. The RtST drives the initiation of locomotion and postural control. RtST axons …

Background The harmony of the human gait was recently found to be related to the golden
ratio value (ϕ). The ratio between the duration of the stance and that of the swing phases of …

Children born preterm are at increased risk for cognitive impairment, with higher-order
functions such as language being especially vulnerable. Previously, we and others have …

Lateralization patterns are a major structural feature of brain white matter and have been
investigated as a neural architecture that indicates and supports the specialization of …

This study proposes a novel 10-point numerical scale to evaluate long-term thermal comfort
satisfaction. The available scale that verbally evaluates the short-term thermal comfort is …
