The classical view of how the human brain controls voluntary movement might not tell the whole story. That map of the primary motor cortex — the motor homunculus — shows how this brain region is ...

Within the brain’s frontal lobe lies the primary motor cortex, a sliver of neurons that coordinates movement. Beginning in the 1930s, scientists developed a map of this brain region called a ...

Our movements may be controlled by two distinct networks in our brain, rather than just one. For nearly a century, we have known that the motor cortex – a thin strip of tissue that runs across the top ...

Using brain scans, neuroscientists from Emory University have revised a decades-old map of the homunculus — a visual representation of the primary motor cortex and how it corresponds to bodily ...
