This study aimed to clarify the neural mechanisms underlying individual differences in motor learning proficiency rate by measuring EEG during a visual tracking motor learning task and conducting ...
Koenigsegg only uses a single Dark Matter motor in the Gamera, mounted in the "Bulldog" front axle. The other 1,500 hp (1,119 kW) come from the 5-liter "Hot V8" in the back of the car.
Chronic pain poses considerable health risks, necessitating the development of effective treatments. Physical modulation of the motor cortex has demonstrated promise for pain relief; however, existing ...
ABSTRACT: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is highly prevalent in the elderly population and leads to AD patients’ higher mortality, low life quality, and lead to a huge economic burden on the health system.
Meta-learning of human motor adaptation via the dorsal premotor cortex. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2024; 121 (44) DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2417543121 ...
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is often applied to the motor cortex to stimulate a collection of motor evoked potentials (MEPs) in groups of peripheral muscles. The causal interface between ...
Image Credit: r.classen/Shutterstock.com Background The human motor cortex was initially described as a continually present homunculus.
The homunculus’ hand showed the expected connections to the hand region in the other half of the brain, as did the relevant areas of the motor cortex that control movement of the foot and mouth.
The homunculus map of the primary motor cortex (left), compared to the updated map (right). The new map includes regions that control whole-body movements. Gordon, et al. via Nature under CC BY 4.0 ...
HAMILTON: Ultimately, Dosenbach says this led to a new map of the motor cortex. DOSENBACH: There's two interleaved systems. So it's a checkerboard pattern. It's specific body parts.
