Compared to other animal species, humans can plan and execute highly sophisticated motor tasks, including the ability to write complex characters using their hands. While many past studies have tried ...

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 neuropathic ...

The motor cortex homunculus is getting a makeover. New research has essentially redrawn the motor cortex and constitutes one of the most substantial shifts in our topographical knowledge of a sensory ...

In a recent study published in the Nature Journal, researchers performed precision functional mapping (PFM) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to map the functional organization of the ...

Among 6- to 15-year-olds with cerebral palsy, gait training with a wearable, untethered exoskeleton robot improved gross motor function, a randomized clinical trial showed. Improvements among the RAGT ...

Enhancing prefrontal cortex (PFC) cognitive functions requires identifying suitable exercises that increase cerebral blood flow. A recent study using functional near-infrared spectroscopy found that ...
