The project used the widest range of tools for probing brain cells ever brought to bear in a single, coordinated effort. Studies document how these tools measure different cellular properties ...

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 ...

Functional MRI data were obtained from two highly sampled participants (64.0 runs, 244.0 minutes per individual) during the blocked performance of 25 movements and a new event-associated task with ...

New data shows that an old model of the brain's motor cortex is incomplete Scientists found evidence of two interleaved systems, which may help explain the connection between what's going on in ...

Another brain region, called the premotor cortex, is known to have a role in planning movements, but the areas found by Gordon and Dosenbach's team are woven into the primary motor cortex itself.

Neuroscientists have produced the largest wiring diagram and functional map of a mammalian brain to date using tissue from a part of a mouse’s cerebral cortex involved in vision, an achievement ...

As an example, upper limb regions of motor cortex project to more than 100 brain and spinal cord regions, while receiving projections back from around 60 brain areas.
