When most humans reach late adulthood, their ability to coordinate movements and maintain balance, broadly referred to as motor control, tends to gradually decline. While these changes in motor ...

Carnegie Mellon researchers discovered that Parkinson’s disease tremor and slowed movement are linked to disruptions in ...

A new study by neuroscientists shows that our brain deals with different forms of visual uncertainty during movements in distinct ways. Depending on the type of uncertainty, planning and execution of ...

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 ...

Movement-paired taVNS noninvasively targets and boosts specific brain areas responsible for movement and arousal.

A research team at The University of Osaka has identified a crucial brain region involved in motor learning during reaching movements. The parvocellular division of the red nucleus, a small but ...

The terms mobility and flexibility are often used interchangeably in fitness conversations, yet they represent distinctly different aspects of physical capability with unique implications for movement ...

The hippocampus has a surprising new role -- linked to the control of skilled actions such as handwriting, typing, and playing music. Researchers at the University of Birmingham have uncovered a ...

A high-resolution brain interface records movement signals from the brain's surface, enabling real-time control performance similar to invasive implants without entering brain tissue. (Nanowerk ...
