Description
This project addresses whethertranscranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) of the brain can enhance neuroplasticity in healthy adults and stroke survivors when applied during physical training or ...
Can non-invasive brain stimulation enhance neuroplasticity mediated by brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in the healthy and injured brain: a new therapeutic tool for improving recovery after stroke? Hasselt University
The role of cytokines (interferon-gamma and tumor necrosis factor-alpha) in experience-dependent neuroplasticity in mouse visual cortex. KU Leuven
Integrated movement analysis laboratory: Assessment of human motion in health and disease. KU Leuven
The new movement analysis laboratory allows the study of human motion in 3-D, the analysis of the forces acting on the body as well as muscle function. The state-of-the-art system in combination with a sophisticated apparatus to test posture will promote research activities in movement, sports and rehabilitation sciences
The neural basis of action understanding. KU Leuven
Memory formation covers unique and divergent stages. After performing a new action, encoding takes place and forms a representation of this action in the brain. The novel memory trace is then stabilized through subsequent stages of a time dependent process referred to as memory consolidation. Consolidation makes the memory more resistant against competing influences, interference or forgetting in the absence of further ...
Role of the cerebellum in reaction to perturbations during gait in humans. KU Leuven
Driving oscillatory activity in the human response inhibition network to reveal the critical role of the brain areas contributing to motor inhibition KU Leuven
The ability to inhibit responses is an essential and fundamental component of cognitive control over action. The pre-supplementary motor area (preSMA), right inferior frontal cortex (rIFC) and subthalamic nucleus (STN) have been identified as the key nodes in the brain network supporting response inhibition, but their relative position within the network and functional role in stopping are still unclear. Furthermore, not much is known about ...
