"Complex processes are going on in the brain when we sleep," says Dr Karolina Armonaitė, a neuroscientist from Kaunas ...

"The primary motor cortex (M1) and the primary somatosensory cortex (S1) were targeted for continuous theta-burst stimulation, while stimulation over the occipital cortex served as a control.

Even in the most sensory parts of the cortex, we observed neurons that directly linked the learnt sequence to the animals' motor response. Some neurons even responded to whether the animal was ...

Humans can be trained to use echolocation to estimate the sizes of enclosed spaces. LMU researchers now show that the learning process involves close coordination between sensory and motor cortex.

The motor nerves that helped you move your finger connect to the "motor cortex," while the sensory nerves that tell your brain about a feeling (like texture) connect to the "somatosensory cortex." ...

The motor cortex homunculus is getting a makeover. New research has essentially redrawn the motor cortex and constitutes one of the most substantial shifts in our topographical knowledge of a sensory ...

Persistent sensory experience is good for aging brain Date: May 24, 2012 Source: Max Planck Florida Institute Summary: Despite a long-held scientific belief that much of the wiring of the brain is ...

Future studies could investigate whether similar modular principles apply to other areas of the cortex involved in cognition and sensory processing. Reference: Tamura K, Bech P, Mizuno H, Veaute L, ...

With Kameda et al.'s paper, "Sensory and Motor Representations of Internalized Rhythms in the Cerebellum and Basal Ganglia," top of mind, the thing that stood out about running to "Ordinary World ...
