Researchers identify five specific neuron subgroups in the motor cortex most vulnerable to TDP-43 protein clumps in ALS and Frontotemporal Dementia.

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD) belong to a spectrum of neurodegenerative diseases with overlapping symptoms, characterized by muscle wasting, paralysis, dementia ...

A new study found that deep sleep weakens breathing brain timing in movement circuits and changes internal brain ...

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD) belong to a spectrum of neurodegenerative diseases with overlapping symptoms, characterized by muscle wasting, paralysis, dementia ...

Four years ago, the NIH’s Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies (BRAIN) Initiative Cell Census Network (BICCN) was launched, with the aim of identifying and cataloguing the ...

Researchers have discovered that the dorsal premotor cortex serves a 'meta-learning' function, overseeing and regulating physical movements. Once believed to be limited to movement planning, this ...

Auditory corollary discharge in the human starts in the bottom, or ventral, part of the motor cortex, a subregion called the precentral gyrus (red), and then move down across its folds to a ...

Researchers identify a conserved brainstem and spinal cord pathway (C3-C4) that controls voluntary hand movements in both mice and humans.

Whether speaking or swinging a bat, precise and adaptable timing of movement is essential for everyday behavior. Although we do not have sensory organs like eyes or a nose to sense time, we can keep ...

Mayo Clinic researchers have identified a hidden "movement map" deep within the brain—a discovery that could help surgeons ...
