The cerebrum, especially the cerebral cortex, has long been thought to be the important part of our brain. However, the cerbrum contains less than 20 percent of the neurons in our brain. Eighty ...

How the cortex generates movement to achieve different tasks remains poorly understood. Here the authors show that the cortex serializes motor control by first performing task-specific ...

A biphasic structural plasticity rule interacts with homeostatic synaptic scaling to maintain firing rate homeostasis in neural networks.

This useful study presents a biologically realistic, large-scale cortical model of the rat's non-barrel somatosensory cortex, investigating synaptic plasticity of excitatory connections under varying ...

Finger tapping is one of the most reliable and widely used tasks for evoking activity in the motor cortex area of the brain, both for the brain–computer interface (BCI) and for evaluating the progress ...

To achieve a thorough exploration of motor modularity, this Research Topic will emphasize specific boundaries and limitations focused on understanding across multiple scales of motor control. We ...
