Researchers identify five specific neuron subgroups in the motor cortex most vulnerable to TDP-43 protein clumps in ALS and Frontotemporal Dementia.

A new study found that deep sleep weakens breathing brain timing in movement circuits and changes internal brain ...

Specific neurons in the motor cortex of the brain are linked to Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) and Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD), offering targets for tailored therapies.

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD) belong to a spectrum of neurodegenerative diseases with overlapping symptoms, characterized by muscle wasting, paralysis, dementia ...

Researchers have discovered that the dorsal premotor cortex serves a 'meta-learning' function, overseeing and regulating physical movements. Once believed to be limited to movement planning, this ...

Auditory corollary discharge in the human starts in the bottom, or ventral, part of the motor cortex, a subregion called the precentral gyrus (red), and then move down across its folds to a ...

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 ...

Mayo Clinic researchers have identified a hidden "movement map" deep within the brain—a discovery that could help surgeons ...
