Upper limb asymmetries in the utilization of proprioceptive feedback
Despite the importance of proprioception during upper limb movement, the extent to which arm/hemisphere asymmetries exist in the utilization of proprioceptive feedback remains unclear. In the present study, movement accuracy and arm dynamics were examined in 20 right-handed adults during a proprioceptive matching task that required subjects to actively match remembered target positions of the elbow with the contralateral arm. As hypothesized, the results indicated an accuracy advantage in favor of the non-preferred left arm reflected by smaller absolute matching errors when compared to the preferred right arm. This advantage was most pronounced for larger amplitude movements and was not associated with any limb-specific difference in movement strategy as indicated by the dynamics of the matching movement. These results extend current theories of handedness by demonstrating that, in right-handed individuals, the non-preferred arm/hemisphere system is more adept at utilizing position-related proprioceptive information than the preferred arm/hemisphere system.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/46546/1/221_2005_Article_280.pd

The definitive version was published in Nature Genetics 44 (2012): 121-126, doi:10.1038/ng.1054.To make full use of research data, the bioscience community needs to adopt technologies and reward mechanisms that support interoperability and promote the growth of an open 'data commoning' culture. Here we describe the prerequisites for data commoning and present an established and growing ecosystem of solutions using the shared 'Investigation-Study-Assay' framework to support that vision.The authors also acknowledge

Upper Limb Asymmetries in the Matching of Proprioceptive Versus Visual Targets
À travers la figure d'André Morizet, maire de Boulogne-sur-Seine de 1919 à 1942, se dessinent les contradictions entre un discours incantatoire et volontariste sur la question du logement social et une pratique municipale peu encline à faire du logement ouvrier une priorité. Engagé à gauche sur le plan politique (communiste, socialiste), Morizet profite du tournant politique et social de 1928 (loi Loucheur) pour favoriser le plus large consensus au Sénat sur les questions relatives au logement des déshérités. Néanmoins, pensant plus en termes administratifs que sociaux, et faisant de la commune qu'il administre un laboratoire de la modernité architecturale, il répugne à ce qu'elle se transforme en un bastion ouvrier
