Single neurons in mouse sensorimotor cortex are organized by their activity features into distinct subpopulations with area-spanning footprints whose boundaries align closely with anatomical and ...

Compared to other animal species, humans can plan and execute highly sophisticated motor tasks, including the ability to write complex characters using their hands. While many past studies have tried ...

In the early 20th century, pioneering neurosurgeon Dr. Wilder Penfield made a groundbreaking discovery. While in the operating room, Penfield stimulated ...

The motor cortex homunculus is getting a makeover. New research has essentially redrawn the motor cortex and constitutes one of the most substantial shifts in our topographical knowledge of a sensory ...

Researchers at Leipzig University's Carl Ludwig Institute have discovered that in the cerebral cortex, synaptic signal transmission between brain cells functions very reliably even at low ...

Targeted activation of specific nerve cells using pulses of light alleviates motor impairments in an animal model of Huntington’s disease and restores healthy neuronal activity. These findings have ...

A recent study published in Nature Communications demonstrated how droplet-based three-dimensional (3D) printing could help fabricate cerebral cortex tissues comprising layer-specific neurons ...
