2022
Reaching is a fundamental skill that allows humans to interact with the environment. Several studies have aimed to characterize reaching behavior using a variety of methodologies. This paper offers an open-source application of transcranial magnetic stimulation to assess the state of corticospinal excitability in humans during reaching task performance.

Psychosis: Goals of Pharmacotherapy

Antipsychotic drugs are a crucial treatment method for acute and chronic psychoses, bipolar illness, and behavioral disorders. The selection of these drugs depends on several factors, including the state of the disease, clinical judgment, possible drug interactions, and the patient's sensitivity to adverse effects. In immediate scenarios, such as delirium and dementia, short-term treatment with low doses of high-potency typical or atypical agents can effectively manage symptom exacerbation. For...

Nonconscious Mimicry Occurs when Affiliation Goals are Present

2023
Source: Diego Reinero & Jay Van Bavel—New York University People are social chameleons and regularly engage in nonconscious behavioral mimicry. This occurs when an individual unwittingly imitates the behaviors of another person, such as crossing one's legs moments after a person sitting adjacent does so, or adjusting one's body posture to match a conversation partner. Rapport between two people increases behavioral mimicry, just as mimicry also increases rapport. Psychologists have posited...

This protocol is intended to investigate the impact of task conditions on movement strategies in chronic stroke survivors. Further, this protocol can be used to examine if a restriction in elbow extension induced by neuromuscular electrical stimulation causes trunk compensation during goal-directed arm reaches in non-disabled adults.

All animal procedures described here must be conducted in accordance with institutional animal ethics guidelines and approved by IACUC. All procedures must follow the principles of the 3Rs—Replacement, Reduction, and Refinement—and must be performed by trained personnel. Monitoring Animals for Signs of Pain and Distress Recognizing early signs of pain is essential for ethical animal research. Animals are routinely monitored using behavioral, physical, and physiological parameters that reflect...
FAQs
Measurable targets translate broad aims, such as better symptom control or improved function, into findings that clinicians can review over time. They provide a reference point for judging whether an intervention is helping and make it easier to recognize when progress differs from expectations. This supports more deliberate treatment decisions instead of relying only on general impressions.
Patient preferences help determine which outcomes are meaningful and which interventions are acceptable in a particular situation. A plan focused on symptom relief, functional status, risk reduction, or another personally important result may differ between patients with similar clinical needs. Including these preferences makes decisions more individualized and links treatment choices to outcomes the person values.
Monitoring creates an ongoing feedback process between treatment and observed response. Clinicians compare follow-up findings with the agreed targets, assess whether the patient is progressing as expected, and identify a need for change when results fall short. This repeated review helps keep care responsive rather than allowing an ineffective or poorly matched plan to continue unchanged.
A practical sequence begins with assessing the patient’s condition and clarifying the desired outcomes. Clinicians then select interventions suited to the patient, establish targets that can be reviewed, and arrange follow-up to evaluate response. If findings do not match expectations, the plan is adjusted. This sequence connects assessment, action, measurement, and revision within one care process.
The outcomes depend on the patient’s needs and the goals established for care. Possible targets include functional status, symptom control, and reduction of risk, along with other outcomes that matter to the individual. Tracking these measures helps clinicians evaluate whether care is producing meaningful benefit rather than focusing only on the intervention delivered.
Shared goals give clinicians and patients a common framework for discussing priorities, interventions, and follow-up findings. Team members can relate their actions to the same intended outcomes and identify when progress requires reconsideration. In medicine, this alignment can make care more coherent across decision points while keeping the patient’s condition and preferences central to planning.
