Integrative taxonomy reveals a new troglophilic species of Schistura , from a cave‐dwelling population inhabiting stream draining (Barak–Surma–Meghna drainage) through the Krem (=cave) Mawjymbuin in East Khasi Hills of Meghalaya. Morphologically, the new species is easily distinguished from its congeners in having a combination of characters, including a unique colour pattern in the form of 14–20 greyish black to faint black b...

Background After stroke, recovery of upper limb reaching movements may partly depend on the level of activation of the reticulospinal tract (RST), but few clinical studies have explored this. Here we examined the association between the strength of reticulospinal connections and extent of reaching in post-stroke patients. Methods Fifteen patients (all male) with right hemiparesis who had suffered a stroke at least six months p...

The new species possesses prominent eyes but is easily distinguished from all the congeners of the genus Schistura from Barak–Surma–Meghna and adjacent rivers drainages of northeast Indian (except S. syngkai ) in having 13–26...
