Within the human brain, movement is coordinated by a brain region called the striatum, which sends instructions to motor neurons in the brain. Those instructions are conveyed by two pathways, one ...

Researchers from Harvard University and Google have unveiled an intricate wiring diagram of the human brain from a tiny piece of cerebral cortex tissue. The map details 57,000 cells and 150 ...

Patients with ischemic stroke or intracerebral hemorrhage and unilateral upper limb motor impairment were randomized to 10 daily sessions of active or sham continuous theta-burst stimulation (cTBS) of ...

Researchers mapped the functional organization of the motor cortex (M1) of the human brain.

Beginning in the 1930s, scientists developed a map of this brain region called a homunculus map, depicting how different sections of the primary motor cortex controlled specific parts of the body.

Since the 1930s, the so-called homunculus map has shown how different parts of the brain's motor cortex may control movement to different parts of the body. But it may be missing an important ...

The BRAIN initiative was launched in 2014 by former president Barack Obama to revolutionize our understanding of the human brain. The new project builds on a previous effort to identify and map more ...

Researchers reveal how the anterior cingulate cortex and motor cortex collaborate to update behaviors when adding a new step to an established task.

In this study, we seek to reconstruct hyperdirect pathways fibers projecting from the primary motor cortex using multi-fiber deterministic tractography and to investigate the internal organization of ...

Editor’s note: The Lab Report is a weekly series in The Badger Herald’s print edition where we take a deep dive into the (research) lives of students and professors outside the classroom. The ...

A detailed atlas of the various types of cells that populate the motor cortex, the brain region that controls voluntary movement and is damaged in people with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), was ...

BRAIN Initiative Cell Census Network—Motor Cortex Generating a multimodal cell census and atlas of primary motor cortex through collaborative data collection, tool development and analysis.
