Muscles of the Forearm that Move the Hand and Fingers01:17

Muscles of the Forearm that Move the Hand and Fingers

1.9K
The muscles of the forearm that move the wrist, hand, and digits are numerous and diverse. They can be classified into two groups based on their location and function — the anterior and posterior compartment muscles.
Anterior Compartment
The anterior compartment muscles originate from the humerus. They primarily function as flexors and are also known as flexor muscles. They typically insert on the carpals, metacarpals, and phalanges. The superficial layer includes the flexor carpi...

The Uncertainty Principle

29.9K
Werner Heisenberg considered the limits of how accurately one can measure properties of an electron or other microscopic particles. He determined that there is a fundamental limit to how accurately one can measure both a particle’s position and its momentum simultaneously. The more accurate the measurement of the momentum of a particle is known, the less accurate the position at that time is known and vice versa. This is what is now called the Heisenberg uncertainty principle. He...

Physical Pendulum

2.2K
When a rigid body is hanging freely from a fixed pivot point and is displaced, it oscillates similar to a simple pendulum and is known as a physical pendulum. The period and angular frequency of a physical pendulum are obtained by using the small-angle approximation and drawing parallels with a spring-mass system. The small-angle approximation (sinθ=θ) is valid up to about 14°.
When dealing with complicated systems, the mass moment of inertia is an important parameter, as it...

Upward Impending Motion01:21

Upward Impending Motion

447
A square-threaded screw jack is a mechanical device widely used for lifting heavy loads or applying considerable force. Its operation is based on converting the force applied at its handle into a torsional moment, causing the upward impending motion of the screw. This movement is accomplished by overcoming the static friction between the threads of the screw and the jack.
To better comprehend how a screw jack functions, consider the completely unraveled thread as a block in contact with the...

Hindsight Biases01:12

Hindsight Biases

4.1K
Hindsight bias leads you to believe that the event you just experienced was predictable, even though it really wasn’t. In other words, you knew all along that things would turn out the way they did. Can you relate this to the phrase "Hindsight is 20/20" now?

Somatosensation01:33

Somatosensation

41.9K
The somatosensory system relays sensory information from the skin, mucous membranes, limbs, and joints. Somatosensation is more familiarly known as the sense of touch. A typical somatosensory pathway includes three types of long neurons: primary, secondary, and tertiary. Primary neurons have cell bodies located near the spinal cord in groups of neurons called dorsal root ganglia. The sensory neurons of ganglia innervate designated areas of skin called dermatomes.

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Peripheral injury impairs the brain's ability to predict upcoming sensory events. Brachial plexus injury specifically blurred tactile event prediction in the dominant hand, impacting sensorimotor cortex function.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Motor Control
  • Sensory Processing

Background:

  • Predicting sensorimotor events is crucial for skilled motor behavior.
  • This requires accurate, updated body and environmental representations.
  • The impact of peripheral injury on these predictive mechanisms is not well understood.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate if peripheral injury affects sensorimotor prediction mechanisms.
  • To identify electroencephalogram (EEG) signatures of prediction in healthy and brachial plexus injury (BPI) participants.

Main Methods:

  • Action observation and EEG paradigm used.
  • Participants (healthy and BPI) observed videos of hand-ball interactions.
  • EEG recorded from sensorimotor cortex during prediction of hand movement, tactile event, or no event.

Main Results:

  • Healthy participants showed distinct EEG signatures for predicting hand movement and tactile events.
  • BPI participants exhibited altered EEG signals in the sensorimotor cortex for hand movement prediction.
  • BPI patients showed no difference between tactile and no-movement conditions, indicating blurred tactile prediction.

Conclusions:

  • The sensorimotor cortex is vital for estimating actions and tactile interactions.
  • Peripheral sensorimotor loss can lead to plastic changes in prediction coding.
  • BPI specifically impairs the prediction of upcoming tactile events for the dominant hand.
