There seems to be a lower volume in important parts of the brain related to behavior, emotional regulation, and impulse ...

Researchers have identified 17 modifiable factors—things within your control—that can influence your risk of developing three major brain diseases: stroke, dementia, and late-life depression.

While recovering from stroke depends on where in the brain the trauma has occurred, it's often a long and difficult road to regaining adequate movement and motor function.

For nearly a century, scientists have recognized that different regions of the brain’s cortex are responsible for controlling various body movements. This understanding dates back to the 1930s, when ...

Abstract A brain-wide map of descending inputs onto spinal V1 interneurons Motor output results from the coordinated activity of neural circuits distributed across multiple brain regions that convey ...

Researchers have developed a gene therapy technology that uses magnetic fields to control specific brain circuits. In addition to Parkinson’s disease, the tech could be used to treat conditions ...

Comparing activations in artificial control networks with brain activity in real animals enables long-standing theories of motor control at the level of neural circuits to be probed.

MIT researchers have discovered a brain circuit that drives vocalization and ensures that you talk only when you breathe out, and stop talking when you breathe in.

Scientists Examine Brain Cells That Control How Much Mice Eat The study—the first to look at these neurons while animals are awake and consuming food—could tell us about our own appetites ...

The researchers assessed two types of control. The first, average controllability, describes the ability to switch between similar brain states: for example, transitioning from a motor behavior like ...

15 years of research on a brain circuit An important processing region in the central brain of the insect, known as mushroom body due to its anatomical shape, is crucial for the formation of memory.
