Plant movement has long fascinated many researchers. Legumes are a group of plants famous for exhibiting various leaf movements, including "nyctinastic movement," in which the leaves open in the day ...

A research team at the University of Osaka has identified a crucial brain region involved in motor learning during reaching movements. The parvocellular division of the red nucleus, a small but ...

Immune cells have a surprising and critical role in controlling movement and bridging neural activity with metabolic demands, concludes a groundbreaking study published in Nature by researchers at the ...

Within the brain’s frontal lobe lies the primary motor cortex, a sliver of neurons that coordinates movement. Beginning in the 1930s, scientists developed a map of this brain region called a ...

Soccer is one of the world’s most cognitively and motorically demanding team sports, in which match outcomes often depend on a small number of decisive ...

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 of ...

The hippocampus has a surprising new role -- linked to the control of skilled actions such as handwriting, typing, and playing music. Researchers at the University of Birmingham have uncovered a ...

A research team at The University of Osaka has identified a crucial brain region involved in motor learning during reaching movements. The parvocellular division of the red nucleus, a small but ...

The parvocellular division of the red nucleus (RNp) represents both observed and predicted error signals, transmitting them to the cerebellum to adjust the aiming. M1 ...
