To investigate the connections between the motor cortex, the striatum and behavior, Nicholas and Yttri observed mice walking in a T-maze and performing a skilled reaching task by using a small ...

Here, the authors identify a cortical signal for inertial load in locomoting mice that is decoupled from motor output. Whether and how the non-lesional sensorimotor cortex contributes to the post ...

Neuroscientists have uncovered how sensory input is transformed into motor action across multiple brain regions in mice.

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 ...

This suggested that the brain was divided into different sections, and that each section controlled the motor function (or movement) of a different part of the body. And since the pattern never ...

During this task, mice need ... decisions and motor actions," Gauld said. "Experimental evidence suggests that silent neurons ...

Similarly, scientists discovered that motor memory—as indicated by how long mice can run on a rotating ... of PSD95 and FMRP ...

A man afflicted with ALS has become the first person in the world to control an Amazon Alexa digital assistant through his thoughts — thanks to a brain implant created by a New York-based ...

In addition, they measured neural activity in the motor cortex on both sides during the task. The results showed that blocking the pathways had no effect on the monkeys' ability in the absence of ...

Prof. David Golomb, head of the Zlotowski Center for Neuroscience at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev (BGU) in southern ...

What if we could harness the placebo effect as a non-opioid medication for pain? This new study, which included a Harvard ...
