Months after UW Medicine neurosurgeons implanted a first-of-its-kind brain stimulation device in a stroke patient, doctors ...

How the brain controls complex movements has been a mystery. Advances in artificial intelligence now make it possible to simulate this process in virtual animals. Comparing activations in artificial ...

Scientists have traced connectivity between neurons to identify how the brain communicates with the spinal cord. A new brain map visualizes the connections between the brain and spinal cord at the ...

Machine learning decodes brain signals for paralysis recovery in just one second using sensors placed on scalp not inside ...

Inside Michigan Tech's Aging, Cognition and Action Lab, space debris rains down on a screen as players scramble to deflect it ...

Scientists have identified previously unknown neural modules in the brain that control movement and adapt during skill learning. Their findings challenge long-held ideas about how the brain organizes ...

A research team has revealed that a molecule in the brain -- ophthalmic acid -- unexpectedly acts like a neurotransmitter similar to dopamine in regulating motor function, offering a new therapeutic ...

A shaky hand, a racing heart, a wave of dread; alcohol withdrawal can feel like your body has turned against you. For many ...

New brain imaging research shows grip strength is linked to activity deep in the aging brain, offering clues to early ...

For nearly a century, scientists have known that different parts of the human brain’s cortex control different body movements. This fundamental discovery dates to the 1930s, when neurosurgeons used ...
