Understanding the neurological mechanisms responsible for recovery is vital for effective neurorehabilitation. This study explores the role of two key pathways in finger individuation: the corticospinal (CS) tract from the primary motor cortex and premotor areas, and the subcortical reticulospinal (RS) tract from the brainstem. We aimed to investigate how the cortical-reticular network reorganizes to aid recovery of finger dexterity following lesions in these areas.<i>Approach.</i>To provide a potential biologically plausible answer to this question, we developed an artificial neural network (ANN) to model the interaction between a premotor planning layer, a cortical layer with excitatory and inhibitory CS outputs, and RS outputs controlling finger movements. The ANN was trained to simulate normal finger individuation and strength. A simulated stroke was then applied to the CS area, RS area, or both, and the recovery of finger dexterity was analyzed.<i>Main results.</i>In the intact model, the ANN demonstrated a near-linear relationship between the forces of instructed and uninstructed fingers, resembling human individuation patterns. Post-stroke simulations revealed that lesions in both CS and RS regions led to increased unintended force in uninstructed fingers, immediate weakening of instructed fingers, improved control during early recovery, and increased neural plasticity. Lesions in the CS region alone significantly impaired individuation, while RS lesions affected strength and to a lesser extent, individuation. The model also predicted the impact of stroke severity on finger individuation, highlighting the combined effects of CS and RS lesions.<i>Significance.</i>This model provides insights into the interactive role of cortical and subcortical regions in finger individuation.

Accurate and timely prediction of epileptic seizures is crucial for empowering patients to mitigate their impact or prevent them altogether. Current studies predominantly focus on short-term seizure predictions, which causes the prediction time to be shorter than the onset of antiepileptic, thus failing to prevent seizures. However, longer epilepsy prediction faces the problem that as the preictal period lengthens, it increasingly resembles the interictal period, complicating differentiation.<i>Approach</i>. To address these issues, we employ the sample entropy method for feature extraction from electroencephalography (EEG) signals. Subsequently, we introduce the anchoring temporal convolutional networks (ATCN) model for longer-term, patient-specific epilepsy prediction. ATCN utilizes dilated causal convolutional networks to learn time-dependent features from previous data, capturing temporal causal correlations within and between samples. Additionally, the model also incorporates anchoring data to enhance the performance of epilepsy prediction further. Finally, we proposed a multilayer sliding window prediction algorithm for seizure alarms.<i>Main results</i>. Evaluation on the Freiburg intracranial EEG dataset shows our approach achieves 100% sensitivity, a false prediction rate (FPR) of 0.09 per hour, and an average prediction time (APT) of 98.92 min.
