For nearly a century, scientists have known that different parts of the human brain's cortex control different body movements ...
The cerebellum, often called the little brain, plays a much bigger role in language processing than once believed. Located at ...
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 ...
Brain-robot interfaces — apparatuses where brain activity controls the movements of a robotic device that supports a hand or limb — show promise in rehabilitating paralyzed stroke patients. Yet the ...
Non-invasive brain stimulation can restore optimal motor skill acquisition in people with diminished learning capabilities, e.g. due to age, according to a new study. Even though we don't think about ...
