Spatially organized recruitment of neural activity across the motor cortex informs details of planned movements.
Somatosensory feedback from specialized sensors helps inform the spinal cord about ongoing movement and keeps a cat from falling when they encounter obstacles.
A new study reveals the spontaneous, random movements babies make aid in the development of the sensorimotor system.
A neural circuit that decodes the start, duration and sudden change of speed of locomotion has been identified.
The between-sex performance gap when it comes to running is much narrower at shorter sprint distances, a new study reveals.
A new learning algorithm trains a robotic dog to walk within one hour, researchers report.
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.
