Perisaccadic Perceptual Mislocalization Strength Depends on the Visual Appearance of Saccade Targets

New Findings in Visual Perception and Eye Movement Research Background Introduction In daily life, despite the constant rapid eye movements (known as saccades), we are still able to perceive a stable visual environment. This stability is achieved through the integration of information by the visual system during saccades. However, the mechanisms of...

Differential Contributions of the C1 ERP and Broadband High-Frequency Activity to Visual Processing

Differential Contributions of High-Frequency Activity and C1 ERP Component to Visual Processing: A Combined EEG-MEG Study Academic Background In the field of neuroscience, understanding how visual information is processed in the brain is a central question. Visual information processing is typically divided into two main processes: feedforward and ...

Impact of Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 Receptor Agonists on Axonal Function in Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy

Impact of GLP-1 Receptor Agonists on Axonal Function in Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy Academic Background Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy (DPN) is one of the most common complications in patients with type 2 diabetes worldwide, affecting approximately 50% of diabetic patients. The main symptoms of DPN include neuropathic pain, numbness, and in seve...

Isorhamnetin Ameliorates Dopaminergic Neuronal Damage via Targeting FOSL1 to Activate AKT/mTOR in 6-OHDA-Induced SH-SY5Y Cells

Isorhamnetin Ameliorates 6-OHDA-Induced SH-SY5Y Cell Damage by Targeting FosL1 to Activate the Akt/mTOR Pathway Academic Background Parkinson’s Disease (PD) is a chronic neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the loss of dopaminergic neurons in the Substantia Nigra Pars Compacta (SNpc). This neuronal loss is closely associated with mitochondri...

The Role of Cognitive Load on Interlimb Differences in Motor Coordination in Older Adults

The Impact of Cognitive Load on Interlimb Differences in Motor Control in Older Adults Academic Background In daily life, we often observe that the dominant hand (e.g., the right hand in right-handed individuals) performs better than the non-dominant hand in simple tasks. However, these interlimb differences may be influenced by task complexity and...

Neuroimaging Meets Neurophysiology: Are There Cortical Somatotopic Motor Maps Outside of the Human Precentral Gyrus?

New Discoveries in Cortical Motor Maps Background Introduction Humans and other primates are capable of performing a wide range of complex body movements, the initiation and control of which rely on multiple cortical and subcortical structures. Among these, the primary motor cortex (M1), located in the precentral gyrus, is the core region for execu...
