More than two-thirds of stroke survivors have upper extremity paresis (ie, motor impairment affecting the arms and hands),1 and this impairment is typically treated with some amount of rehabilitation ...

The motor cortex is the region of the cerebral cortex including the primary motor, premotor and supplementary motor cortices that is responsible for planning and executing actions. Using advanced ...

This valuable study characterises the activity of motor units from two of the three anatomical subdivisions ("heads") of the triceps muscle while mice walked on a treadmill at various speeds. Although ...

In a new survey, nine in ten primary school teachers said that children’s speech and language issues have worsened since 2020. Teachers have been noticing declining school preparedness in young ...

Conti will package its brake components with a patented dual-rotor, radial-flux motor, supplied by DeepDrive, to drive the wheels. The technology will be road-ready soon, the partners say ...

Neurons in the primary somatosensory cortex process different types of sensory ... Previous research emphasized the role of motor cortical regions in movement-related processing, but also ...

The right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC), pre-supplementary motor area (pre-SMA), and primary motor cortex (M1) play key roles in regulating this inhibition. However, the changes in ...

Traditionally, it has been proposed that striatum is critical for selecting what type of action is initiated, while the primary motor cortex is involved in specifying the continuous parameters of an ...

elicited by pulsed TMS of the primary motor cortex. In fact, the modulatory effects of rTMS on brain activity are much more complicated. The current study aimed to investigate the modulatory effects ...

Before primary motor cortex (M1) develops its motor functions, it functions like a somatosensory area. Here, by recording from neurons in the forelimb representation of M1 in postnatal day (P) 8–12 ...
