6. To grip and not to slip : sensorimotor mechanisms in reactive control of grasp stability
Abstract : The reactive control of fingertip forces maintaining grasp stability was examined in man during a prehensile task. Blindfolded subjects used the precision grip between the tips of index finger and thumb to restrain an object that was subjected to unpredictable load forces. These were delivered tangential to the parallel grip surfaces of the object. READ MORE

7. Spinal Cord Processing of Sensory Information: Spatial Organization and Adaptive Mechanisms
Abstract : Principles for sensorimotor transformation and plasticity in the spinal cord and functional repair in the root-avulsed spinal cord were studied. A comparative study confirmed that the nociceptive withdrawal reflex (NWR) system is composed of reflex modules, with each performing a finely tuned transformation of skin sensory input to activity in one muscle.

8. Spontaneous Movements during Sleep Guide Spinal Self-organization: Formation and Expression of a Memory Trace
Abstract : During development, information about the three-dimensional shape and mechanical properties of the body is laid down in the synaptic connectivity of sensorimotor systems through adaptive mechanisms. In spinal reflex systems, this enables the fast transformation of complex sensory information into adequate correction of movements. READ MORE

9. On the Move : Science and Development Behind Learning Sensorimotor Contingencies in the Mobile Paradigm
Abstract : Exploring the body and environment is essential for development. Detecting and learning contingent relationships between one’s own actions and their consequences instantiates such exploration. Furthermore, it facilitates the development of sense of agency, body awareness, and consciousness. READ MORE

10. Cursed complexity. Computational properties of subcortical neuronal microcircuitry in sensorimotor control
Abstract : One of the big obstacles for understanding the nervous system is its inherent complexity. It poses problems when interpreting both experimental and theoretical studies since we are currently forced to consider only reduced variants of the actual circuitry of the brain. READ MORE
