For every motor skill you've ever learned, whether it's walking or watchmaking, there is a small ensemble of neurons in your ...

The CON “is one of the ‘smartest’ areas of the brain, and we’re seeing it connect very strongly with these regions of primary motor cortex.” This alters our perception of the primary motor cortex's ...

A new study in mice has helped illuminate how the brain's primary motor cortex (M1) – a brain region most commonly associated with control of motor functions – helps suppress dimensions of ...

This generated an interdigitated chain extending from the primary motor cortex (precentral gyrus) that had not been identified previously.

A layer deep in the cerebral cortex, which is the innermost layer of the mammalian brain, has recently been found to play a ...

Scientists found evidence of two interleaved systems, which may help explain the connection between what's going on in our bodies and what's going on in brain areas involved in thoughts and emotions.

A new study has found high frequency propagating activity patterns in the motor cortex that contain details of upcoming movement -- information that could lead to the development of better brain ...

Researchers have discovered that the dorsal premotor cortex serves a 'meta-learning' function, overseeing and regulating physical movements. Once believed to be limited to movement planning, this ...

The cerebral cortex is your brain’s outermost layer. It has a wrinkled appearance due to the grooves and folds that increase its surface area. Here, we look at the anatomy of the cerebral cortex and ...

Conclusion Complete microsurgical resection of metastatic tumors in the primary motor cortex is feasible and efficacious, results in a sustained improvement in performance outcomes, and permits ...
