    Neurorehabilitation therapies exploiting the use-dependent plasticity of our neuromuscular system are devised to help patients who suffer from injuries or diseases of this system. These therapies take advantage of the fact that the motor activity alters the properties of our neurons and muscles, including the pattern of their connectivity, and thus their functionality. Hence, a sensor-motor treatment where patients makes certain movements will help them (re)learn how to move the affected body parts. But these traditional rehabilitation processes are usually repetitive and lengthy, reducing motivation and adherence to the treatment, and thus limiting the benefits for the patients

    A joint measurement is presented of the branching fractions Bs0→Ό+Ό−B^0_s\to\mu^+\mu^- and B0→Ό+Ό−B^0\to\mu^+\mu^- in proton-proton collisions at the LHC by the CMS and LHCb experiments. The data samples were collected in 2011 at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV, and in 2012 at 8 TeV. The combined analysis produces the first observation of the Bs0→Ό+Ό−B^0_s\to\mu^+\mu^- decay, with a statistical significance exceeding six standard deviations, and the best measurement of its branching fraction so far, and three standard deviation evidence for the B0→Ό+Ό−B^0\to\mu^+\mu^- decay. The measurements are statistically compatible with SM predictions and impose stringent constraints on several theories beyond the SM
