And it's in these neurons that we see strongly lateralized population activity." ... A motor cortex circuit for motor planning and movement. Nature, 2015; DOI: 10.1038/nature14178; ...

Textbooks show the primary motor cortex as a continuous ribbon with sections devoted to specific muscle groups, from tongue to toe. That view dates back to the 1930s, ...

Motor cortex shown to play active role in learning movement patterns Date: May 4, 2014 Source: University of California - San Diego Summary: Skilled motor movements of the sort tennis players ...

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 ...

Nico Dosenbach says one day they noticed something odd in the primary motor cortex, an area that controls muscles. NICO DOSENBACH: It just didn't make sense if the textbook was right.

Activations were bilateral in four subjects, left-lateralized in two and right-lateralized in four. ... by listening to speech may extend into the most anterior part of primary motor cortex.

It is widely agreed that the right posterior parietal cortex has a preeminent role in visuospatial and orienting attention. A number of lines of evidence suggest that although orienting and the ...

Motor cortex areas triggered by face-related words such as bite and chew showed little correspondence to those activated by voluntary tongue movements, however.

Through cell experiments and analysis of human brain tissue, researchers at Brain Research Institute, Niigata University, led by Akihiro Sugai, M.D., Ph.D., have found that methylation of TDP-43 ...

Skilled motor movements of the sort tennis players employ while serving a tennis ball or pianists use in playing a concerto, require precise interactions between the motor cortex and the rest of ...
