For decades, neuroscientists have debated whether the primary motor cortex (M1) merely relays movement commands from ...

A brief, stimulus-triggered feedforward signal from mouse somatosensory to motor cortex predicted task success and conveyed ...

The brain's motor cortex plans, controls and executes voluntary muscle movements. Whether you're playing catch, writing your name or chewing food, it all points back to this region and its connections ...

Briefly activating about 20 carefully chosen neurons in a mouse’s motor cortex was enough to set off a learned movement, researchers at the University of California San Diego reported this week. The ...

The somatosensory cortex is a brain region known to play a role in the detection of tactile information, changes in temperature, and pain sensations. Some recent studies found that this crucial brain ...

The brain’s motor cortex is as important as it sounds: it plans, controls, and executes voluntary muscle movements. Whether you’re playing catch, writing your name, or chewing food, it all points back ...

Vision shapes behavior and, a new study by MIT neuroscientists finds, behavior and internal states shape vision. The research, published Nov. 25 in Neuron, finds in mice that via specific circuits, ...

I would like to start a regular segment where I explain the latest findings for therapists!For our momentous first ...

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 ...
