Observing the effects of Tetramethylpyrazine (TMP) on the expression of Collagen IV and Laminin in neurovascular basement membrane and the apoptosis of vascular endothelial cells, and to study the mechanism of...
Defining “dance” is challenging, because many distinct classes of human movement may be considered dance in a broad sense. Although the most obvious category is rhythmic dancing to a musical beat, other catego...
This editorial provides a background and overview of the interdisciplinary workshop on “The Social and Neural Bases of Creative Movement,” bringing together dancers, choreographers, musicians, artists, kinesio...
Creativity is a key skill for the twenty-first century, where the individual and collective imperative to adapt is omnipresent. Yet, it is still unclear how to put creativity theories into practice, which sign...
Cerebral palsy (CP) is considered the most prevalent developmental motor disorder in children. There is a need for training programs that enhance motor abilities and normalize function from an early age. Previ...
Dancing to music is ancient and widespread in human cultures. While dance shows great cultural diversity, it often involves nonvocal rhythmic movements synchronized to musical beats in a predictive and tempo-f...

Dissecting the neurobiology of dance would shed light on a complex, yet ubiquitous, form of human communication. In this experiment, we sought to study, via mobile electroencephalography (EEG), the brain activ...
We propose that while examining homologies and convergences in auditory-motor synchronization between humans and non-human animals is informative, examining differences in behaviour and brain mechanisms can he...

Creative movement, in the form of music- and dance-based exercise and rehabilitation, can serve as a model for learning and memory, visuospatial orientation, mental imagery, and multimodal sensory-motor integr...
The strongest genetic risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the ε4 allele of apolipoprotein E (ApoE ε4). A high fat diet also adds to the risk of dementia and AD. In addition, there are sex differences as w...
Vanadium is a widely used transition metal in industrial applications, but it also poses significant neurotoxic and environmental risks. Previous studies have shown that exposure to vanadium may lead to neurod...
