The primary motor and primary somatosensory areas of the brain are involved in controlling immediate motor movements in real-time, while the premotor area appears to control planned, sequential movements as well as reacting to and adjusting the sequence when faced with unexpected changes.
Motor system neurons not only control movement, they also incite action.
Researchers trained an AI to determine which psychotropic agent a zebrafish had been exposed to based on the animal's behaviors and locomotion patterns.
Researchers have identified a neural circuit that helps suppress the execution of planned actions in response to specific cues.
Ventral spinocerebellar tract neurons (VSTNs) are necessary and sufficient for regulating locomotion in mice, a new study reports.
A newly developed control technology that combines proprioception with visual perception allows robots to tackle rough terrains faster and more efficiently.
Study suggests seven compensation strategies to help those with Parkinson's disease improve mobility and walking problems.
Jumping spiders can distinguish between living and non-living objects based upon their movement, a new study reports.
Emotional knowledge, cooperative social behavior, and locomotor activity are three key skills for promoting numerical learning in young children.
Subtle changes in fractal motor activity regulation in cognitively healthy women may be a sign of preclinical Alzheimer's disease, researchers report.
Researchers have developed a new model that represents the planning of movement from seeing an object to grasping it.
People whose computer mouse drifted toward a safer option on the screen, even when they ultimately decided to select a riskier option, may be more risk avoidant than their choices would indicate.
