A New York-based biotech firm announced it has raised an additional $200 million in financing to advance commercialization of ...

A new study has found high frequency propagating activity patterns in the motor cortex that contain details of upcoming movement -- information that could lead to the development of better ...

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 ...

Four years ago, the NIH’s Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies (BRAIN) Initiative Cell Census Network (BICCN) was launched, with the aim of identifying and cataloguing the ...

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 ...

The 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 cortex may ...

Our movements may be controlled by two distinct networks in our brain, rather than just one. For nearly a century, we have known that the motor cortex – a thin strip of tissue that runs across the top ...

A team of researchers from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and Yale University School of Medicine has created the first "multiome" atlas of brain cell development in the human cerebral ...

Scientists found evidence of two interleaved systems, which may help explain the connection between what's going on in our bodies and what's going on in brain areas involved in thoughts and emotions.

Within the brain’s frontal lobe lies the primary motor cortex, a sliver of neurons that coordinates movement. Beginning in the 1930s, scientists developed a map of this brain region called a ...
