Researchers have identified a previously overlooked neural pathway that helps control human hand and arm movements. The ...

Researchers have identified a network of connections linking the brainstem and spinal cord that helps control hand and arm ...

The effects of spinal cord injuries are complex and multifaceted. People lose not only the ability to control the movement of ...

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 ...

Inside neurons, motor proteins haul precious cargo, moving essential goods along thread-like roadways called microtubule tracks. Inside neurons, motor proteins haul precious cargo, moving essential ...

Researchers identify a conserved brainstem and spinal cord pathway (C3-C4) that controls voluntary hand movements in both mice and humans.

The cerebellum, a region at the back of the brain under the cerebral cortex, has been found to support movement and muscle control, as well as memory, learning and other mental functions. Some ...
