Researchers found that the local release of dopamine – a molecule best known for its role in the brain’s reward system – is a ...

A groundbreaking study used a brain-machine interface to explore how intentions, actions, and their outcomes are temporally ...

Researchers led by Jean-Paul Noel at the University of Minnesota, United States, have decoupled intentions, actions and their ...

Your brain then decides whether or not to carry out what it has read. If it decides yes, your brain's motor cortex, a small area that exists on the outer part of your brain, calls for messages to ...

The study provides compelling evidence that local dopamine release serves as a crucial signal for neural plasticity in the motor cortex, enabling the necessary adaptations for producing precise and ...

Thus, the term primary motor cortex (M1) is unjustified, as it may be no more primary than the premotor or the supplementary motor areas. Instead, the motor cortex is a two-dimensional map ...

Researchers led by Jean-Paul Noel at the University of Minnesota, United States, have decoupled intentions, actions and their effects by manipulating the brain-machine interface that allows a person ...

The primary motor cortex sits in the back of the frontal lobes, near the temple. The dominant paradigm states that the motor cortex is simplistic. Planning, cognition, and conscious initiation of ...

The motor cortex is the region of the cerebral cortex including the primary motor, premotor and supplementary motor cortices that is responsible for planning and executing actions. Visual ...

Munich news, health insurance, technology, jobs and other topics for expatriates. The Eye Newspapers covers daily news and offers services for foreigners.

Noninvasive brain stimulation can reduce the burden of fibromyalgia, but questions remain about which patients can benefit.

This learning takes place in the primary motor cortex—a region of the brain responsible for planning and executing voluntary movements. From this cortical "command center," signals are sent via ...
