Researchers have identified a previously overlooked neural pathway that helps control human hand and arm movements. 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 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 ...

The neural network in the primary motor cortex transitions from a "beginner" state (light blue, left) to an "expert" configuration (dark blue, right). Dopamine release from the ventral tegmental area ...

Neural activity in brain motor area largely coincides in time with the onset of the experience of intention Researchers led by Jean-Paul Noel at the University of Minnesota, United States, have ...
