DOI: 10.1002/brb3.1490
Abstract: Our hands are the primary means for motor interaction with the environment, and their neural organization is fundamentally asymmetric: While most individuals can perform easy motor tasks with two hands equally well, only very few… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.clinph.2018.09.005
Abstract: OBJECTIVE Writer's cramp (WC) is a task-specific focal dystonia. WC is characterized by involuntary contractions of muscles of the hand and arm during handwriting, resulting in impaired writing with exaggerated finger forces. The generalization of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41467-019-10223-y
Abstract: The red nucleus (RN) is required for limb control, specifically fine motor coordination. There is some evidence for a role of the RN in reaching and grasping, mainly from lesion studies, but results so far… read more here.

DOI: 10.1177/1545968318781028
Abstract: The loss of independent joint control, clinically referred to as limb synergies, is prevalent in the paretic upper limb of individuals with chronic hemiparetic stroke. To understand the underlying neural mechanisms, we previously reported that… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0241308
Abstract: Although the motor–executive function (EF) link is actively being investigated, there remain open questions surrounding why some studies found associations between specific motor and specific EF tasks, while others did not. Furthermore, it is also… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fbioe.2022.868928
Abstract: There is growing interest in the quantification of gait as part of complex motor tasks. This requires gait events (GEs) to be detected under conditions different from straight walking. This study aimed to propose and… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fpsyg.2021.744913
Abstract: Previous studies have shown that the color red can affect basic motor functioning. However, these studies utilized simple gross motor tasks rather than those assessing complex fine motor skills. Moreover, these empirical studies were theoretically… read more here.
