Researchers have found that the brain’s ability to hear and evaluate its own speech may matter more for learning new vocal ...

Single neurons in mouse sensorimotor cortex are organized by their activity features into distinct subpopulations with area-spanning footprints whose boundaries align closely with anatomical and ...

In the early 20th century, pioneering neurosurgeon Dr. Wilder Penfield made a groundbreaking discovery. While in the operating room, Penfield stimulated ...

The somatosensory cortex is a brain region known to play a role in the detection of tactile information, changes in temperature, and pain sensations. Some recent studies found that this crucial brain ...

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 ...

For almost a century, budding neuroscientists have been taught that the headband-like strip of brain tissue over our ears that controls our movements, called the motor cortex, contains an orderly map ...

For every motor skill you've ever learned, whether it's walking or watchmaking, there is a small ensemble of neurons in your brain that makes that movement happen. Our brains trigger these ...

Utilizing optogenetics, researchers at Fujita Health University have selectively deactivated neural pathways with light, revealing new insights into how sensory and motor areas of the mouse brain ...
