Brain Map Reveals Location of Cell Types in Motor Cortex, to Help Develop Alzheimer's and ASL Treatments. By Sophie Webster Updated: Oct 07 2021, 00:50 AM EDT .

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.

The motor cortex, the part of the brain involved in the planning, control, and execution of voluntary movements, may play a role in translating vocabulary from foreign languages into a person’s native ...

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, ...

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.
