Normann, Richard A.; Maynard, Edwin M. | Neuronal interactions improve cortical population coding of movement direction | Interactions among groups of neurons in primary motor cortex (MI) may convey information about motor behavior. We investigated the information carried by interactions in MI of macaque monkeys using a novel multielectrode array to record simultaneously from 12-16 neurons during an arm-reaching task. ... | Motor Cortex; Monkey; Population Coding; Movement | 1999 |

Couldwell, William T. | Normal dimensions of the posterior pituitary bright spot on magnetic resonance imaging: Clinical article | Object. The normal pituitary bright spot seen on unenhanced T1-weighted MRI is thought to result from the T1-shortening effect of the vasopressin stored in the posterior pituitary. Individual variations in its size may be difficult to differentiate from pathological conditions resulting in either ab... | | 2014-01-01 |
