Synchron, a top Neuralink competitor, rarely lets journalists visit its New York headquarters. What I saw there reveals the ...

First described 60 years ago, chronic myoclonus following cerebral anoxia is now known as Lance-Adams syndrome. This is a severe disorder whose mechanisms were, until now, poorly understood ...

Then scientists mapped a tiny piece of its brain. Scientists say the map of a speck of a mouse's brain could be as transformative as the Human Genome Project. Here's what to know.

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 ...

The cerebral cortex, also known as gray matter, is your brain’s outermost layer and is located above the cerebrum. Learn more about its vital functions.

While previous experiments had tracked this electrical brain circuit to the motor cortex in mammals, the field has struggled to determine where discharge signals originate in the human motor cortex.

This groundbreaking discovery of a meta-learning function in the premotor cortex could pave the way for developing technologies to enhance motor skill acquisition more effectively in sports.

The Synchron BCI is implanted in the blood vessel on the surface of the motor cortex of the brain via the jugular vein, through a minimally-invasive endovascular procedure.

Synchron has developed a brain-computer interface that uses existing technologies such as the stent and catheter to allow insertion into the brain without the need for open brain surgery.

A new study linked chronic pain to activity in the orbitofrontal cortex, an area involved in emotion regulation, self-evaluation and decision making.

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.

The homunculus’ hand showed the expected connections to the hand region in the other half of the brain, as did the relevant areas of the motor cortex that control movement of the foot and mouth.
