Researchers have discovered that the dorsal premotor cortex serves a 'meta-learning' function, overseeing and regulating physical movements. Once believed to be limited to movement planning, this ...

First described 60 years ago, chronic myoclonus following cerebral anoxia is now known as Lance-Adams syndrome. This is a severe disorder whose mechanisms were, until now, poorly understood. Geoffroy ...

For nearly a century, scientists have known that different parts of the human brain's cortex control different body movements ...

Specific neurons in the motor cortex of the brain are linked to Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) and Frontotemporal ...

At one end of the BCI are small plates with hundreds of microelectrodes placed directly on the brain. But not just anywhere; ...

When animals move through complex visual environments, the brain cannot afford to analyze every detail one by one. Instead, ...

Scientists have identified previously unknown neural modules in the brain that control movement and adapt during skill learning. Their findings challenge long-held ideas about how the brain organizes ...

For nearly a century, scientists have known that different parts of the human brain’s cortex control different body movements. This fundamental discovery dates to the 1930s, when neurosurgeons used ...
