Glial cells support neurological structures, function, cognition, behaviours, physical skills, and motor coordination.

The cerebrum, especially the cerebral cortex, has long been thought to be the important part of our brain. However, the cerbrum contains less than 20 percent of the neurons in our brain. Eighty ...

NFL super-agent Leigh Steinberg opens up about the brain trauma crisis in football and his mission to protect athletes ...

Large-scale microscopy combined with tissue clearing and expansion enables nanoscale imaging of centimeter scale specimens.

The motor cortex matures faster in ADHD, possibly contributing to restlessness. Delays in the maturationof the frontal lobe, ...

Our study examined the impact of APOEε4 on AD patients’ cognitive function and the level of a hallmark of AD pathology. This study also examined the impact of APOEε4 on the number of neurons in the ...

However, the precise organization of these motor control areas has remained an open question. A new study from researchers at EPFL, the University of Cambridge, and Kumamoto University reveals that ...

For nearly a century, scientists have known that different parts of the human brain's cortex control different body movements. This fundamental discovery dates to the 1930s, when neurosurgeons used ...

Movement is a complex process governed by a network of neuronal circuits spread across multiple regions of the nervous system ...

Editor's evaluation This study provides fundamental findings that challenge the traditional view of segregated cerebellar and basal ganglia circuits in the motor thalamus, revealing a novel ...

Languages’ transmogrifier: The role of motor cortex in processing observed iconic co-speech gestures. Paper presented at the Organization for Human Brain Mapping, Seattle, Washington, USA.

We report the generation of a multimodal cell census and atlas of the mammalian primary motor cortex (MOp or M1) as the initial product of the BRAIN Initiative Cell Census Network (BICCN). This was ...
