A new study in mice has helped illuminate how the brain’s primary motor cortex (M1) – a brain region most commonly associated with control of motor functions – helps suppress dimensions of neuropathic ...
Our body movements profoundly impact how our brain processes sensory information. Historically, it was believed that the brain's primary motor cortex played a key role in modulating sensory ...
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 ...
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 ...
A new study in mice, carried out by researchers at Heidelberg University Medical Faculty Heidelberg, has helped illuminate how the brain’s primary motor cortex (a region known as M1) helps to suppress ...
This story is part of a series on the current progression in Regenerative Medicine. This piece discusses advances in brain-computer interfaces. In 1999, I defined regenerative medicine as the ...
To make a deliberate action in a volatile environment, the brain must frequently reassess the value of each action (action-value). Choice can be initially made from the experience of trial-and-errors, ...
Researchers have revealed how two neural circuits located in the brain's retrosplenial cortex are directly linked to spatial navigation and memory storage. This discovery could lead to more precise ...
