Scientists traced connectivity between neurons to identify how the brain communicates with the spinal cord to control motor function. Signals relayed to motor neurons from the brain enable muscle ...

The human brain, our body’s most intricate organ, governs everything from vital functions to creative problem-solving. Recent studies have highlighted how targeted daily activities can significantly ...

Scientists have identified previously unknown neural modules in the brain that control movement and adapt during skill learning. Their findings challenge long-held ideas about how the brain organizes ...

Stroke and spinal cord injuries can severely impair motor functions, and understanding how to promote recovery is a critical challenge. While damaged neurons in the brain and spinal cord have limited ...

Participants were randomly divided into two groups. One group used a HEPA air purifier for one month, followed by a sham purifier—an identical device without an air-cleaning filter—for another month, ...

Like a lightbulb illuminating the moment you flip a switch, the brain pays an immediate energy cost every time a neuron fires. Bistra Iordanova has built her career studying brain function, but over ...

Scientists have traced connectivity between neurons to identify how the brain communicates with the spinal cord. A new brain map visualizes the connections between the brain and spinal cord at the ...
