For the first time, researchers have mapped decision-making at single-cell resolution across an entire mammalian brain.

In both cases, movement initiation relies on the activation of so-called reticulospinal control neurons, which form an intertwined network in the most posterior part of the brain—the brainstem.

Your brain extracts information about partner movement to enhance coordination. Human dancing, and likely many other "partner" activities, involves multi-level activation within the brain.

A new study by neuroscientists shows that our brain deals with different forms of visual uncertainty during movements in distinct ways. Depending on the type of uncertainty, planning and execution ...

Physical movement is absolutely crucial for brain health. Regular physical activity enhances blood flow to the brain, which delivers oxygen and essential nutrients that support the growth and ...

Since the 1930s, the so-called homunculus map has shown how different parts of the brain's motor cortex may control movement to different parts of the body. But it may be missing an important ...

If you're finding yourself glued to your phone these days, scrolling the news, here's how to change your habits and get moving instead.

Brain-machine interfaces pose the opportunity to revolutionize modern regenerative medicine, but underlying research in brain signal generation, acquisition, and processing is still far from complete.

A Brain Implant Helped Stroke Survivors Regain Movement Stimulating the brain with electricity has been used for 30 years to treat Parkinson’s disease.
