Researchers at the University of New South Wales Sydney are testing a new way to treat chronic nerve pain by training the ...

Our body movements profoundly impact how our brain processes sensory information. Historically, it was believed that the brain's primary motor cortex played a key role in modulating sensory ...

Optogenetic climbing fiber activation regulates experience-dependent plasticity in the primary somatosensory cortex of mice, suggesting a role of the olivo-cerebellum in instructive signaling across ...

Study demonstrated that the Homer1 gene improves focus by reducing “noise” in the prefrontal cortex, with implications for studying attention disorders.

New research reveals that even a small loss of myelin—the protective coating around neurons—can severely disrupt how the brain sends and interprets sensory information.

While listening to music, our ability to feel internalized rhythms and generate rhythmic movements synchronized with a song's beat relies on the cerebellum and basal ganglia's striatum working in ...

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 ...

Scientists have built a soft, wireless Implant that lets the brain interpret patterned light as if it were a new kind of touch, turning beams into information the cortex can actually use. Instead of ...

Utilizing optogenetics, researchers at Fujita Health University have selectively deactivated neural pathways with light, revealing new insights into how sensory and motor areas of the mouse brain ...
