Numerous studies have found dancing can help promote improved mental health and overall wellbeing, regardless of a person's age. Researchers explore why some people are "born to dance".
When people witness an act they find offensive, the brain inhibits neurons that control tongue movement in the same way as it does when a person tastes something bad.
Increasing the activity of interneurons in later 5 of the primary motor cortex in mouse models of ALS effectively slowed the onset of the disease.
Findings shed light on what happens in the brains of patients with functional neurological disorders as well as other trauma-related brain disorders.
Neural activity patterns for limb movements remain stable over time. Researchers were able to record, decode, and reconstruct activity patterns from common movement skills. The findings could have immediate implications for the development of neuroprosthetics that can bypass brain injuries by inferring intended motor actions from a person's brain.
A portable transcranial direct current stimulation headset may provide relief for those with joint pain.
Expert pianists have altered mechanisms by with tactile and proprioceptive sensations suppress activity in the primary motor cortex.

Findings allow for the development of an autonomously updating brain-machine interface, which is able to improve on its own by learning about its subject without additional programming. The system could help develop new robotic prosthetics, which can perform more naturally.
Long contractions of muscles in one hand increase involuntary reactions in the other. Findings shed new light on mirror activity and may help with better understanding the pathology of mirror movements in neurological disorders.
Asking participants to bungee jump helps researchers measure Bereitschaftspotential, or readiness potential, outside the lab setting. Researchers say their findings will help in the development of BCIs to assist quadriplegics to control neuroprosthetics.
Researchers have identified a possible biomarker that could help expedite ASD diagnosis in children. The study revealed children with autism have lower frequency motor related gamma oscillations.
Researchers report the brain controls speech production in a similar manner to how it controls the production of arm and hand movements. The findings could help to build better speech decoders for BMI, helping those who are unable to speak to find their voice.
