Conclusion: Loss of motor control may occur even with a normal corticospinal tract when proprioception is severely impaired by dysfunction of the sensorimotor network in the brain. Key words: proprioception; motor control; functional MRI; dif-fusion tensor imaging; stroke; rehabilitation. J Rehabil Med 2015; 47: 187â190
Mussels are low in total and saturated fat but are one of the richest shellfish sources of a type of heart-healthy unsaturated fatty acid known collectively as the omega-3 fatty acids. A 3 ounce serving of blue mussels, cooked in moist heat, provides over 700 milligrams of omega-3 fatty acids.

Apart from the foot, two siphons can be seen, as soon as the mussel opens its shell halves wide enough. A mussel will do so only under water, to breathe and to feed. Like other bivalves, mussels also are filtrators that take oxygen from the surrounding sea water to breathe as well as food particles. In doing so, mussels make a very important part in preserving the ecosystem of the Wadden Sea: Each individual mussel filters about 2 to 3 litres of sea water per hour. Taking into account the falling dry of mussels during low tide, that makes about 10 to 20 litres of sea water per day and mussel.
