Probing Sensorimotor Memory through the Human Speech-Audiomotor System

Medicine, Neurology,
sensorimotor memory   speech-auditory system   memory retention   contextual memory retrieval   speech motor learning  

Research Background Human sensorimotor learning and memory mechanisms have long been a research focus in the field of neuroscience. Most related studies have concentrated on the visuospatial workspace and limb movements, such as arm movements and grasping actions. These studies have helped scientists understand how sensorimotor memories are formed,...

Electroacupuncture Ameliorated Locomotor Symptoms in MPTP-Induced Mice Model of Parkinson’s Disease by Regulating Autophagy via Nrf2 Signaling

In recent years, with the global increase in drug abuse, particularly opioids, scientists have become increasingly focused on the neurobehavioral effects of such substances. Among them, buprenorphine, an opioid, is widely used for medication-assisted treatment of opioid addiction. However, beyond its analgesic and addiction treatment effects, bupre...

Dopamine Receptors D1, D2, and D4 Modulate Electrical Synapses and Excitability in the Thalamic Reticular Nucleus

Medicine, Neurology, Life Sciences,
dopamine   electrical synapses   thalamic reticular nucleus   excitability   neurons   signal transduction   receptor subtypes  

Modulation of Electrical Synapses and Excitability by Dopamine Receptors in the Thalamic Reticular Nucleus Academic Background The Thalamic Reticular Nucleus (TRN) is a thin shell of γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA)ergic inhibitory neurons in the thalamus. These neurons are coupled via gap junctions and regulate the transmission of sensory information fr...
