Using in vivo imaging, the authors explore how dopamine loss in Parkinson’s disease mouse models affects synaptic plasticity in motor cortex. They find that dopamine D1 and D2 receptor signaling ...

A new study in mice has helped illuminate how the brain's primary motor cortex (M1) – a brain region most commonly associated with control of motor functions – helps suppress dimensions of ...

Mouse Motor Cortex (IMAGE) University of California - San Diego. Caption. Cells in the motor cortex of mice display regions in which the neurons are active (in green) and regions in which ...

This is a “more sophisticated” way for the M1 to behave and “something truly different from the establish body-part-specific areas of motor cortex,” says Gordon. After it’s make-over, the new M1 ...

Interactions Among Learning Stage, Retention, and Primary Motor Cortex Excitability in Motor Skill Learning. Brain Stimulation , 2015; 8 (6): 1195 DOI: 10.1016/j.brs.2015.07.025 Cite This Page : ...

Neuroscientists aim to understand how the primary motor cortex (M1) can regulate precise movements while supporting behavioral exploration that encounters consistent errors. While consistency in ...

For many years, neuroscientists have isolated the brain's primary motor cortex (M1), an area in the frontal lobe region, as a hub for sending out signals related to complex movements during ...

Animal studies have demonstrated the anterior motor cortex projecting into internally placed organs involved in sympathetic awakening, indicating that CON, with M1, may not only mediate abstract ...

Neuroscientists have moved one step closer to understanding the complete list of cell types in the brain. In the most comprehensive study of its kind to date, the researchers sorted cells from the ...
