Neuroscientists are rethinking how the brain controls movement, revealing that the motor cortex isn’t just a simple body map but a dynamic network for whole-body action planning. Cutting-edge imaging ...

Scientists have identified previously unknown neural modules in the brain that control movement and adapt during skill learning. Their findings challenge long-held ideas about how the brain organizes ...

Whether speaking or swinging a bat, precise and adaptable timing of movement is essential for everyday behavior. Although we do not have sensory organs like eyes or a nose to sense time, we can keep ...

Scientists have traced connectivity between neurons to identify how the brain communicates with the spinal cord. A new brain map visualizes the connections between the brain and spinal cord at the ...

Brandon Patterson has been through a lot in the nine years since rolling a Jeep left him paralyzed. Now he's on the leading edge of science.

The same fully implanted, wireless device supporting motor recovery after stroke now enables thought-controlled computer use ...

Scientists traced connectivity between neurons to identify how the brain communicates with the spinal cord to control motor function. Signals relayed to motor neurons from the brain enable muscle ...
