A new study published in Scientific Reports has introduced a promising diagnostic tool that could dramatically shorten the long wait times many families face when seeking evaluations for autism and ...

In most tasks, subjects were instructed to give a bilateral motor response to avoid lateralized activation of one motor cortex. During the reading task subjects were instructed to read the words aloud ...

Chronic pain poses considerable health risks, necessitating the development of effective treatments. Physical modulation of the motor cortex has demonstrated promise for pain relief; however, existing ...

Past studies showed that the motor cortex plays a crucial role in the human ability to translate intentions into actions.

A study reveals that motor control in the brain is modular and adaptable. Using optogenetics and imaging in mice, researchers identified horizontal networks that reorganize as new skills are learned.

Motor imagery (MI)-based Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs) have shown promise in engaging the motor cortex for recovery. However, individual responses to MI-based BCIs are highly variable and ...

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.

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.

However, cognitive motor dissociation was also detected in participants with nontraumatic causes of brain injury (e.g., stroke and cardiac arrest), those with acute disorders of consciousness, and ...

The biggest surprise to us was that the visual cortex was very involved in the differences between the slow and fast learners. That suggests there's something about visual information that is key ...

Study: A somato-cognitive action network alternates with effector regions in motor cortex. Image Credit: r.classen/Shutterstock.com Background The human motor cortex was initially described as a ...

Within the brain’s frontal lobe lies the primary motor cortex, a sliver of neurons that coordinates movement. Beginning in the 1930s, scientists developed a map of this brain region called a ...
