The hand knob area of the premotor cortex operates across a wide range of motor functions and body areas. Read More
A newly developed artificial neural connection device allows new cortical sites, previously not associated with limb movements, to swiftly regain the control of a paralyzed hand. Read More
Drummers have higher microstructural diffusion in the corpus callosum, an area of the brain that connects the two hemispheres and which plays a critical role in motor planning. Read More
Researchers have identified a molecule that causes the decline of motor function and increased frailty in nematodes. Targeting the molecule with paxilline helps improve motor function and longevity. Read More
A new study reports the serotonin system is made up of multiple parallel pathways that affect the brain in different, and sometimes opposing, ways. Read More
Researchers report Huntington's disease is not only a neurodegenerative disease, it is also a disease that affects muscle tissues. Read More
A new study reports continued heavy drinking in older people is associated with poor global cognitive and motor functions. Read More
Researchers have developed a new robotic exoskeleton system that uses the power of thought control to help move a person's hand. Read More
Researchers inject an experimental stem cell treatment into the damaged cervical spine of a recently paralyzed young man, restoring a level of function into his hands and arms. Read More
Researchers reveal the role PRC2 plays in Huntington's disease and other neurodegenerative diseases. Read More
Researchers have successfully recorded neural activity in the human striatum. Read More
Researchers report a paralyzed man has been able to regain functional control of his hand with the help of a brain implant that works with new software. Read More
