Scientists have traced connectivity between neurons to identify how the brain communicates with the spinal cord. A new brain map visualizes the connections between the brain and spinal cord at the ...

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 ...

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 the first time, a team of researchers at the Institute for Neurosciences (IN), a joint center of the Spanish National ...

Stroke and spinal cord injuries can severely impair motor functions, and understanding how to promote recovery is a critical challenge. While damaged neurons in the brain and spinal cord have limited ...

Gait apraxia affects a person's ability to start and coordinate walking. It occurs when something affects the brain's frontal ...

Researchers explore the use of smartphones coupled with clinical scores to evaluate motor function and predict dopamine ...

The Importance of Gliotransmitters for Brain Function, Plus Cognitive and Motor Efficiencies Gliotransmitters are neurochemicals released by glial cells. They support communication between neurons and ...

Researchers at Beijing Tiantan Hospital analyzed 101 glioma cases involving the brain’s motor pathway and found that ...
