The motor cortex is a part of the mammalian brain and is known to support the planning and control of voluntary body movements. Some past neuroscience studies, however, found that the motor cortex ...

Automated mapping of motor cortex using laser light. For automated ChR2-based motor mapping we chose a relatively collimated 473 nm laser targeted through a simple microscope ().To check the beam ...

Cerebral Cortex Damage. Damage to any region of the cerebral cortex is typically caused by tumors, autoimmune diseases, bleeding in your brain, or a stroke.Symptoms of possible damage depend on ...

Since the 1930s, the so-called homunculus map has shown how different parts of the brain's motor cortex may control movement to different parts of the body. But it may be missing an important ...

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 ...

As part of a project to develop implantable electronic circuits or 'neurochips' to replace damaged pathways in the nervous system, Jackson et al. have produced a neural implant that forms an ...

Nico Dosenbach says one day they noticed something odd in the primary motor cortex, an area that controls muscles. NICO DOSENBACH: It just didn't make sense if the textbook was right.

Neurons in the brain's motor cortex previously thought of as active mainly during hand and arm movements also light up during speech in a way that is similar to patterns of brain activity linked ...

Textbooks show the primary motor cortex as a continuous ribbon with sections devoted to specific muscle groups, from tongue to toe. That view dates back to the 1930s, ...

Textbooks show the primary motor cortex as a continuous ribbon with sections devoted to specific muscle groups, from tongue to toe. That view dates back to the 1930s, when Canadian neurosurgeon ...

Well, besides the motor cortex, according to the study other parts of the brain involved with learning new actions and understanding language also get revved up when we read action verbs.
