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 ...

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 ...

Before choice commitment, motor cortex activity already reflects competing response options 5,6,7,8, and if choices are inextricably linked to a specific response during decision formation ...

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, ...

The motor cortex is a brain region known to control the body’s voluntary movements. However, the team of neuroscientists have now shown that it can also help translating foreign language words into ...

A new paper could prompt a rethink of a basic tenet of neuroscience. It is widely believed that the motor cortex, a region of the cerebral cortex, is responsible for producing movements, by sending ...

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.

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.
