What is missing in the study of emotion expression? by Straulino E, Scarpazza C and Sartori L
https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpsyg.2023.1158136/full

While approaching celebrations for the 150 years of “The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals”, scientists’ conclusions on emotion expression are still debated. Emotion expression has been traditionally anchored to prototypical and mutually exclusive facial expressions (e.g., anger, d...

Come si intreccia la vita delle piante a quella degli uomini? Esiste una “psicologia vegetale” capace di rivelarci qualcosa del nostro modo di vivere il mondo?

È il ramo l’oggetto simbolo che ha scelto per il prossimo appuntamento di “Tante care cose!” dedicato al suo “Romeo e Giulietta”.

Protagonisti indiscussi della scenografia ideata da Margherita Palli, i rami dividono il palco dello Strehler in due poli contrapposti: in alto il bosco, dove ci si muove fra le fronde, e in basso la palude, dove proliferano epidemia e violenza. Due declinazioni di una natura selvaggia e indomabile, che appartiene anche all’uomo, al suo modo di vivere e di amare.

📆Ne parliamo mercoledì 22 marzo alle 18 al Chiostro Nina Vinchi con Cristina Puricelli, botanica e Responsabile dell’Orto Botanico di Brera e Umberto Castiello, neuroscienziato e Professore del NeMo Laboratory.

Fancy a cup of coffee? With sugar? ☕🥄

We integrated behavioral and neurophysiological measures to study how our motor system responds to interactive requests

👉When Corticospinal Inhibition Favors an Efficient Motor Response https://www.mdpi.com/2149620 Biology MDPI

Many daily activities involve responding to the actions of other people. However, the functional relationship between the motor preparation and ex*****on phases still needs to be clarified. With the combination of different and complementary experimental techniques (i.e., motor excitability measures...

Classifying Circumnutation in Pea plants via Supervised machinelearning

👉 Read the full article: https://lnkd.in/gzUckEKj

Climbing plants require an external support to grow vertically and enhance light acquisition. Climbers that find a suitable support demonstrate greater performance and fitness than those that remain prostrate. Support search is characterized by oscillatory movements (i.e., circumnutation), in which....

Structure of the Motor Descending Pathways Correlates with the Temporal Kinematics of Hand Movements

https://mdpi.com/1875078 via

The projection system, a complex organization of ascending and descending white matter pathways, is the principal system for conveying sensory and motor information, connecting frontal and sensorimotor regions with ventral regions of the central nervous system. The corticospinal tract (CST), one of....

Kinematic Evidence of Root-to-Shoot Signaling for the Coding of Support Thickness in Pea Plants

Plants such as climbers characterized by stems or tendrils need to find a potential support (e.g., pole, stick, other plants or trees) to reach greater light exposure. Since the time when Darwin carried out research on climbing plants, several studies on plants’ searching and attachment behavi...
