At a time when investigating the functional anatomy of the motor cortex is all but out of fashion in favor of black-box decoders and brain-machine interfaces, it is pure joy to read about a decade ...

Your brain then decides whether or not to carry out what it has read. If it decides yes, your brain's motor cortex, a small area that exists on the outer part of your brain, calls for messages to ...

T he motor cortex is a part of the mammalian brain and is known to support the planning and control of voluntary body movements. Some past neuroscience studies, however, found that the motor ...

Beginning in the 1940s, Canadian brain surgeon Wilder Penfield mapped the brain's motor cortex—the area that controls the movement of your body's muscles. He did this by applying mild electric ...

By mapping how distinct neural modules interact, researchers may be able to develop more targeted interventions for conditions that affect motor function. Future studies could investigate whether ...

The newly discovered network involves both the motor cortex and cognitive areas of the brain, upending a long-held view that the motor cortex is only involved in producing movements. “The study is ...

Spinal cord injury (SCI) resulting in severe paralysis is known to deteriorate the quality of life of humans. However, the ...

Researchers from Japan have recently discovered edonerpic maleate, a novel oral drug that enhances the ability to perform grasping movements, indicating accelerated motor recovery in non-human ...

The biggest surprise to us was that the visual cortex was very involved in the differences ... you may have problems learning new motor skills," Ferris said. Quick learners took about a minute ...
