Adaptation in reaching -- gradual improvement of motor control in response to a perturbation -- is a central issue in motor neuroscience. However, even the cortical origin of errors that drive ...

A new brain imaging study has found that people who regularly use cannabis show reduced spontaneous activity in a key motor ...

A better understanding of such motor control circuits could help inform how human brains develop, potentially leading to new ways of restoring movement in people who suffer paralysis from brain ...

Another intriguing issue is whether circuits in the remaining frontal agranular cortex—presumably involved in more ‘cognitive’ aspects of motor control—are organized in the form of primary ...

How does the brain acquire new motor skills? A new study published ... in addition to making inroads into the wiring of brain circuits that control movements and behavior, and helping us to ...

Underlying all our motor behavior is a perfect interplay between neurons in the brain, the spinal cord and the muscles. But which neuronal circuits control the fine motor skills of the arms ...

By thus probing brain circuits in mice ... had been altered with opsins–only the defective portions of a motor-control circuit or a mood-related circuit–while properly functioning neurons ...

The cellular circuits that control mind and behavior tangle together throughout the opaque, gelatinous mass of our brain tissue and ... on one side of mouse motor cortex -- a region that ...

Within the human brain, movement is coordinated by a brain ... and matrix cells are arranged in modules that affect motor control of specific parts of the body. "The next step is trying to isolate ...

A prevailing theory suggests that new learning is controlled by a “smart” brain structure called the basal ganglia, a cluster of interconnected brain regions involved in motor control and learning ...

Adaptation in reaching—gradual improvement of motor control in response to a perturbation—is a central issue in motor neuroscience. However, even the cortical origin of errors that drive adaptation ...
