A groundbreaking study used a brain-machine interface to explore how intentions, actions, and their outcomes are temporally ...

The new study focused on a specific group of neurons in the motor cortex, the brain region responsible ... and a group of neurons that project to the damaged area. After a stroke, gamma ...

Compared to other animal species, humans can plan and execute highly sophisticated motor tasks, including the ability to ...

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 ...

While caring for these unfortunate individuals, Holmes observed that damage to a small structure at the ... In other words, the cerebellum helped orchestrate the motor commands from the cerebral ...

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 ...

Wilder Penfield, a pioneering brain surgeon, mapped the motor cortex using mild electric current. Later, around 1870, Hitzig teamed up with another doctor, Gustav Fritsch. Setting up a makeshift ...

This learning takes place in the primary motor cortex – a region of the brain responsible for planning and executing voluntary movements. From this cortical “command center,” signals are sent via the ...
