A new study by neuroscientists shows that our brain deals with different forms of visual uncertainty during movements in distinct ways. Depending on the type of uncertainty, planning and execution of ...

Flexible control of movement timing is essential for behavior, relying on an adjustable timer in the brain. By measuring and manipulating activity in interacting brain regions, scientists could pause ...

Neurons deep in the brain not only help to initiate movement -- they also actively suppress it, and with astonishing precision. The findings are especially relevant for better understanding ...

Whether speaking or swinging a bat, precise and adaptable timing of movement is essential for everyday behavior. Although we do not have sensory organs like eyes or a nose to sense time, we can keep ...

Discovery of Brain-Body Connection Offers Clues for Parkinson’s and Alcohol Use Disorder When danger lurks, instinct keeps us ...

Researchers identify the anterior cingulate cortex as a "dial" for autonomic arousal, offering new insights into Parkinson's and alcohol use disorder.

Neuroscientists are rethinking how the brain controls movement, revealing that the motor cortex isn’t just a simple body map but a dynamic network for whole-body action planning. Cutting-edge imaging ...

The basal ganglia, a deep brain network, orchestrates everything from smooth movement to complex learning. Researchers are uncovering how its chemical signals, timing systems, and error-correction ...

Imagine waking up thirsty at night and having to reach for a glass of water in the dark. Without a clear view, your brain has to estimate where the glass is and where your hand is - a challenge that ...

Whether speaking or swinging a bat, precise and adaptable timing of movement is essential for everyday behavior. Although we do not have sensory organs like eyes or a nose to sense time, we can keep ...
