Slide of the Week

Ben Parrell, PhD – Slide of the Week

Posted on February 3, 2023

Sensory errors induce two types of behavioral changes: rapid compensation within a movement and longer-term adaptation of subsequent movements.

Posted in Slide of the WeekTagged Auditory Feedback, Ben Parrell, Human, neuroscience, sensorimotor adaptation, speech

Carrie Niziolek, PhD – Slide of the Week

Posted on January 30, 2023

Although movement variability is often attributed to unwanted noise in the motor system, recent work has demonstrated that variability may be actively controlled.

Darcie L. Moore, PhD – Slide of the Week

Posted on January 23, 2023

Neural stem cells (NSCs) in the adult brain are primarily quiescent. When they receive signals, they can activate, re-entering into the cell cycle. Technologies capable of detecting a quiescent from an activated NSC in live cells are limited.

Marsha R. Mailick, PhD – Slide of the Week

Posted on January 6, 2023

FXTAS is characterized by intention tremor, gait ataxia, executive function deficits, memory issues, and neuropathy.

James J. Li, PhD – Slide of the Week

Posted on December 16, 2022

Parenting behavior is a well-established correlate of offspring ADHD. However, little is known about how parenting exerts its effects on offspring ADHD symptomatology.

Margarita Kaushanskaya, PhD – Slide of the Week

Posted on December 11, 2022

Code-switching occurs regularly in the input to bilingual children. Yet, the effect of code-switched input on language development is unclear.

Katherine C. Hustad, PhD – Slide of the Week

Posted on December 2, 2022

Young children (between 30 and 37 months in age) repeated single words, and these words were transcribed by listeners.

Tracy L. Hagemann, PhD – Slide of the Week

Posted on November 28, 2022

Anastasis is a recently described process in which cells recover after late-stage apoptosis activation. The functional consequences of anastasis for cells and tissues are not clearly understood.

Posted in Slide of the WeekTagged Alexander disease, Anastasis, Senescent Phenotype, Tracy Hagemann

Sigan Hartley, PhD – Slide of the Week

Posted on November 11, 2022

People with Down Syndrome (DS) are at high risk for Alzheimer’s disease (AD) because of their unique biology and provide an unparalleled opportunity to develop biomarkers of preclinical AD.

Posted in Slide of the WeekTagged Alzheimer’s disease, BMI, Down Syndome, Sigan Hartley, Weight Loss

Aviad Hai, PhD – Slide of the Week

Posted on November 4, 2022

Methods for the detection of neural signals involve a compromise between invasiveness, spatiotemporal resolution, and the number of neurons or brain regions recorded.
