Abstract: &NA; Synchrotron‐based X‐ray fluorescence imaging (XFI) of zinc (Zn) has been recently implemented to understand the efficiency of various therapeutic interventions targeting post‐stroke neuroprotection and neuroplasticity. However, it is uncertain if micro XFI can resolve… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s42003-020-01465-4
Abstract: The brain detects deviations from intended behaviors by estimating the mismatch between predicted and actual outcomes. Axiomatic to these computations are salience and valence prediction error signals, which alert the brain to the occurrence and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/ejn.15601
Abstract: Recent evidence suggests that treatment with antidepressants may promote functional recovery. However, the timeframe in which these pharmacological agents can influence stroke recovery is not well understood. This research investigated whether delayed administration of citalopram,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pcbi.1010810
Abstract: The mastery of skills, such as balancing an inverted pendulum, implies a very accurate control of movements to achieve the task goals. Traditional accounts of skilled action control that focus on either routinization or perceptual… read more here.
