Sensorimotor processing is necessary to perform motor actions according to environmental demands. The influence of visual, somatosensory and vestibular information, as well as their interaction, is largely studied in ...

Locomotion generates a visual movement pattern characterized as optic flow. To explore how the locomotor adjustments are affected by this pattern, an experimental paradigm was developed to eliminate optic flow during ...

Different components of complex integrated systems may be specialized for different functions, and thus the selective pressures acting on the system as a whole may be conflicting and can ultimately constrain organismal ...

Brain-wide neural circuits enable bi- and quadrupeds to express adaptive locomotor behaviors in a context- and state-dependent manner, e.g., in response to threats or rewards. These behaviors include dynamic transitions ...

Traditionally, the aging process has been viewed as something negative, a phenomenon that eventually results in frailty. However, the development and adaptive processes involved with the aging process are now understood ...

The aim of the present study was to determine the effects of motor practice on visual judgments of apertures for wheelchair locomotion and the visual control of wheelchair locomotion in wheelchair users who had no prior ...
