Injuries affecting the central nervous system may disrupt the cortical pathways to muscles causing loss of motor control. Nevertheless, the brain still exhibits sensorimotor rhythms (SMRs) during movement intents or motor imagery (MI), which is the mental rehearsal of the kinesthetics of a movement without actually performing it. Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) can decode SMRs to control assistive devices and promote functional recovery. Despite rapid advancements in non-invasive BCI systems based on EEG, two persistent challenges remain: First, the instability of SMR patterns due to the non-stationarity of neural signals, which may significantly degrade BCI performance over days and hamper the effectiveness of BCI-based rehabilitation. Second, differentiating MI patterns corresponding to fine hand movements of the same limb is still difficult due to the low spatial resolution of EEG. To address the first challenge, subjects usually learn to elicit reliable SMR and improve BCI control through longitudinal training, so a fundamental question is how to accelerate subject training building upon the SMR neurophysiology. In this study, the investigators hypothesize that conditioning the brain with transcutaneous electrical spinal stimulation, which reportedly induces cortical inhibition, would constrain the neural dynamics and promote focal and strong SMR modulations in subsequent MI-based BCI training sessions - leading to accelerated BCI training. To address the second challenge, the investigators hypothesize that neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) applied contingent to the voluntary activation of the primary motor cortex through MI can help differentiate patterns of activity associated with different hand movements of the same limb by consistently recruiting the separate neural pathways associated with each of the movements within a closed-loop BCI setup. The investigators study the neuroplastic changes associated with training with the two stimulation modalities.
Phase I study to assess the safety, tolerability and immunogenicity of GLS-5310 DNA vaccine given as a booster to those previously vaccinated against SARS-CoV-2
The purpose of this study is to evaluate bioequivalence with respect to rate and extent of absorption of 2-phenylbuturic acid of the novel medication butamirate citrate syrup 1.5 milligrams per milliliter (mg/mL), and the medication sinecod syrup (vanilla) 1.5 mg/mL after single-dose administration in fasting condition by healthy volunteers.
The primary objective of the study is to assess the safety and tolerability of co-formulated subcutaneous (SC) and intravenous (IV) casirivimab+imdevimab The secondary objectives of the study are to: - Explore variability in the drug concentration profiles of casirivimab and imdevimab after co-formulated subcutaneous (SC) or intravenous (IV) administration - Characterize the immunogenicity of casirivimab and imdevimab in serum over time
This study will perform magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) measurements of hemodynamics and cerebrospinal fluid flow across breathing tasks and during breath-locked neuromodulation.
This study aims to evaluate post-exercise recovery in healthy young men submitted to a prolonged exercise protocol of submaximal intensity with or without water intake, from the integrated analysis of autonomic (heart rate variability indices), cardiovascular outcomes (systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure and heart rate) and respiratory (oxygen saturation and respiratory frequency). In addition, it will also be evaluated whether the proposed model is able to estimate the number of individuals undergoing hydration that have better recovery.
Neuroplasticity is the brain's ability to reorganize itself and adapt in response to changing environmental conditions or pathological stimuli. LSD is a potent psychedelic drug which has been able to rapidly stimulate neuroplasticity in animal studies. Various authors have speculated that changes in neuroplasticity may contribute to LSD's long-term effects, but there is still little direct evidence that LSD or other psychedelics enhance neuroplasticity in humans. The goal of this study is to investigate the effects of LSD on several measures of neuroplasticity in healthy human subjects.
Most cardiometabolic diseases are characterized by increased muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA) during rest and exercise which contributes to poor health outcomes. In healthy humans during muscle contraction, there is a blunting of skeletal muscle vascular responsiveness to increases in MSNA. However, the exact mechanisms involved are unknown although, best evidence suggests that the mechanism is endothelium derived, but nitric oxide (NO) and prostaglandin (PG) independent. Endothelium-derived hyperpolarizing factor (EDHF) is a NO and PG independent vasodilator in both cerebral and skeletal muscle circulations, however, it is unknown if EDHF contributes to vascular responsiveness during elevated MSNA. The application of lower body negative pressure (LBNP) is a safe and non-invasive manipulation that can be used to increase MSNA causing vasoconstriction in humans. Therefore, the purpose of this experiment is to determine if acute inhibition of EDHF alters central and peripheral vascular responses to LBNP at rest and during dynamic exercise. Thereby, providing evidence by which EDHF contributes to vascular control in healthy humans and identify it's potential as a therapeutic target for cardiometabolic diseases that are characterized by elevated MSNA
