Ten PwPD and 10 age-matched controls completed a force-tracking paradigm requiring grip force generation, maintenance, and release. Compared to controls, PwPD were less accurate (i.e. less time within target range), had greater error (i.e. greater relative root mean squared error), and had more trial-to-trial variability in error during grip force release.

Therefore, we adapted the trajectory priming paradigm involving an obstacle, where the trajectory adopted in a trial (n) is directly contaminated by a previous trial (n-1). If imagery accurately represents the spatial characteristics, then we would predict a similar priming effect as execution. Participants completed a series of trial blocks under different imagery/execution protocols, where the test trial (n) comprised execution alone, while the previous trial (n-1) involved imagery or execution. Each block comprised pairs of trials with alternate or consistent presentations of a virtual obstacle (O) or no obstacle (N): N-N, N-O, O-N, O-O. For trial n-1 (imagery/execution), there was a more prolonged reaction and movement time for imagery compared execution. Most importantly for trial n (execution), there was an increase in early angular and peak deviation following an obstacle compared to no obstacle in trial n-1, but only when it was execution and not imagery.

It has been shown that the NR2B subunit plays an important role in neurological hypoxic/ischemic diseases by regulating NMDA receptor function. NR2B tyrosine phosphorylation is also an important regulatory mechanism for NMDA receptor function. However, the mechanism of NR2B tyrosine phosphorylation in hypoxic/ischemic injury is still unclear. Therefore, in the present study, we aimed to further clarify the changes in NR2B tyrosine phosphorylation in hypoxic/ischemic damage in the brain and its relationship with neuronal survival under hypoxic/ischemic conditions. Four types of NR2B tyrosine site mutants (Tyr → Phe at 1252, 1336, and 1472, and all three mutations together, named Y1252F, Y1336F, Y1472F, and Triple) and wild-type plasmids were transfected into HT22 cells. The cells were then exposed to oxygen-glucose deprivation and reoxygenation (OGD/R). NR2B, cell apoptosis-related molecules, and neuronal survival factor CREB-related signaling proteins (CaMKII, ERK, Akt) were measured. Cell viability was assessed using the CCK-8 assay. Cell apoptosis and cell cycle were evaluated using flow cytometry. The death ratio of HT22 cells under OGD conditions was further tested using a live cell analysis platform. The viability of HT22 cells in the Y1252F, Y1336F, Y1472F, Triple mutants, and wild-type groups was elevated. Compared to the wild-type, western blotting and real-time PCR showed that Y1252F, Y1336F, Y1472F, and Triple mutants downregulated the expression of apoptosis factors and upregulated anti-apoptosis factors in the OGD/R model. Flow cytometry and cell cycle analysis demonstrated that Y1252F, Y1336F, Y1472F, and Triple mutants reduced the apoptosis rate. The percentage of cells in the S phase decreased significantly. Live cell analysis illustrated that the Y1252F, Y1336F, Y1472F, and Triple mutants contributed to HT22 cell survival under OGD conditions. Additionally, the Y1252F, Y1336F, Y1472F, and Triple mutants activated the survival signaling pathway. Furthermore, compared to the control group (without plasmid), only the Y1336F, Y1472F, and Triple mutants groups showed significant differences in the above tests.

Participants practiced a visuomotor interception task using a joystick, and received feedback during practice indicating success or failure depending on their accuracy. During practice, the accuracy demands were adapted to control and vary the frequency of positive feedback across randomly ordered blocks of practice at either 50%, 70%, or 90%. Performance was measured for each condition as the average accuracy during practice. Learning was estimated by measuring the accuracy pre and post practice in the absence of feedback. We queried participants periodically on their enjoyment of the task to index affective responses to performance feedback.The intrinsic reward elicited by positive feedback, operationalized by the increase in enjoyment immediately following positive versus negative feedback, was positively correlated with learning from pre to post practice. However, increasing the overall amount of positive feedback by lower accuracy demands did not improve performance. These results suggest that experiencing intrinsic reward due to positive feedback benefits motor learning only when it is contingent on good performance.</p>","PeriodicalId":12268,"journal":{"name":"Experimental Brain Research","volume":" ","pages":"2737-2747"},"PeriodicalIF":16.4,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142399907","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
