Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleNeurobehavioral Potential of Cod Liver Oil in Experimental Depressed Rats: Insights into Ingestive, Cognitive, and Motor FunctionsMegha Gokul, Dimple Shet, Nayanatara Arun Kumar et al.Depression-induced variations in the metabolic and neurological components have been given more attention in research. The chronic unpredictable stress rodent model mimics daily human life stressors. This study aimed to elucidate the defensive role of cod liver oil on memory, behavioral variations, and sensorimotor coordination in the Wistar rat model of comorbid depression. Wistar albino rats were categorized into the … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 2 · 6 May 2026 · 1,305 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleFunctional Recovery of Upper Limb Post-Stroke: Mental Practice with Motor and Non-Motor ImageryAline Furtado Bastos, Beatriz Cantanhede Carrapatoso, Marco Orsini et al.Problem statement: Mental Practice (MP) with motor imagery consists of a method of training in which motor imagery is used to improve performance. The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy of MP with motor imagery on motor recovery of the paretic upper limb of post-stroke patients in comparison with MP with non-motor imagery. Approach: Four post-stroke patients … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 29 Mar 2012 · 9,218 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsThe Beneficial Effect of Asiaticoside on Experimental Neuropathy in Diabetic RatsChonlathip Thipkaew, Jintanaporn Wattanathorn, Supaporn MuchimapuraThough diabetic neuropathy produces high impact on quality of life, annual cost and morbidities, the therapeutic efficacy is still not in a satisfaction level. Based on the crucial role of oxidative stress on the pathophysiology of diabetic neuropathy and the improvement of this condition induced by antioxidant, we hypothesized that asiaticoside, a substance possessing antioxidant activity, could provide beneficial effect. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 11 · 31 Aug 2012 · 7,054 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsClinical and Functional Profile of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Patients: A One Year Follow UpMarco Orsini, Marcos R.G. de Freitas, Osvaldo J.M. Nascimento et al.Problem statement: Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive and degenerative disease that affects the anterior horn motor neurons of the spinal cord and pyramidal tracts. In Brazil, there are few epidemiological data on this disease. Recently, some important findings have been reported, allowing a better understanding on the underlying processes of neuronal death, as well as the characteristics of … …Neuroscience International, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 6 Oct 2011 · 7,777 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEffects of Pollutant Diesel Fuels on Neurobehavioral Performance among Workers in Locomotive DepotAnuar Ithnin, Radiah Abu Hasan Shaari, Mazrura Sahani et al.Problem statement: Diesel fuel contains various combinations of hydrocarbons such as cyclohexane, n-hexane, benzene and toluene which can cause health problems in major exposure of that pollutant in locomotive depots. Studies were conducted to evaluate the exposure towards diesel fuel pollutant and the effect on neurobehavioral performances among workers in locomotive depots. Approach: Method used was questionnaire form and neurobehavioral … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 11 Jul 2011 · 7,461 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEffects of Increased Physiological Arousal on Upper Extremity Reaction and Movement Times in Healthy Young AdultsChristopher Kovacs, Tamara BoriesProblem statement: Research has suggested that examining attentional demands during functional tasks is an emergent area of study. Increased arousal may represent an attentional demand, resulting in impaired motor functioning in tasks that require fast reaction and movement times. Approach: This study examined the effects of a non-specific stressor and the resultant physiological arousal on upper extremity functional measures of … …Neuroscience International, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 31 Dec 2010 · 8,041 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsThe Manifestation of the Discrete and Continuous Types of Bioelectric Control of Natural Locomotion at the Over-Five AgeKazbek Chermit, Anatoliy Zabolotniy, Angelina ShakhanovaThe concept of physiology of activity by N.A. Bernstein, developed on the grounds of in-depth theoretical and empirical analysis of natural human locomotion, served as a basis for understanding the target determination of human behavior, the mechanisms of motor skills formation and levels of building movements. Scientific and technological progress has determined the emergence of new methods for registration of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 5 · 27 May 2016 · 7,104 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDesign of an Automatic Umbrella Actuated through Water and Temperature SensorsMeher Dev Gudela, Atharv Kulkarni, Abhishek Dhotre, Kshitiz ShrimaliThe aim of this thesis is to make a smart umbrella which can reduce human effort due to its functionality and can target the market due to its unique design, is really important in modern society at risk of rainfall and wind without coverage in place. The purpose of this project is to make such an umbrella that is really … …Journal of Mechatronics and Robotics, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 29 Sep 2020 · 17,501 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Curcumin and Physical Training on the Brain and Motor Performance of Rats with Cerebral IschemiaKarine Sthéfany Serpa Amaral Dias, Jonas Augusto Ramos, Bruno Mattiello Gomes et al.Brain ischemia is the second most deadly disease in the world and it has already been proven that mild and moderate physical exercises minimize the deleterious effects of this disease on the brain. Curcumin has also been considered a neuroprotective substance. Therefore, the goal of this study was to evaluate the effects of high-resistance training and curcumin on the brain … …Neuroscience International, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 25 Apr 2019 · 7,771 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGeometry and Determining the Positions of a Plan Transporter ManipulatorRelly Victoria Virgil Petrescu, Raffaella Aversa, Antonio Apicella et al.The conveyor mechanism (working in a plan) to be presented in this study is a classic case of manipulating conveyor, simply with a single degree of mobility. It is a very common mechanism used in classical mechanics, being encountered at lifting platforms, at handicapped chairs, at cranes, forklifts, automatic machines and machines, or at older steam locomotives where it having … …Journal of Mechatronics and Robotics, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 1 Jan 2018 · 6,557 accessesView PDF Cite
