Compared to other animal species, humans can plan and execute highly sophisticated motor tasks, including the ability to write complex characters using their hands. While many past studies have tried ...

Scientists using precision fMRI have revealed that the human motor cortex alternates between effector-specific regions and a somato-cognitive action network (SCAN) linked to whole-body action planning ...

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 ...

A new study identifies a neuronal circuit from the motor cortex to the insular cortex, offering a new target for non-invasive ...

In a recent study published in the Nature Journal, researchers performed precision functional mapping (PFM) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to map the functional organization of the ...

While tics have been considered to result from an aberrant function of the brain's motor cortex, a Kobe University mouse study has now discovered a connection to the brain's emotional functions. The ...

Your nerves transmit messages within the brain, as well as among the brain, spinal cord, and the body. In order to do this, they use a combination of electrical and chemical signaling. Motor neurons ...
