Researchers have studied what part of the brain controls speech, and now we know much more. The cerebrum, more specifically, organs within the cerebrum such as the Broca's area, Wernicke's area ...

While the motor cortex controls your body’s movements, the prefrontal cortex is responsible for decision-making and managing other parts of your brain. Occipital lobes.

The motor cortex, the part of the brain involved in the planning, control, and execution of voluntary movements, may play a role in translating vocabulary from foreign languages into a person’s native ...

A slew of new studies now shows that the area of the brain responsible for initiating this action -- the primary motor cortex, which controls movement -- has as many as 116 different types of ...

If it decides yes, your brain's motor cortex, a small area that exists on the outer part of your brain, calls for messages to be sent through your spinal cord and down your arm to the muscles that ...

Certain parts of the cerebral cortex, the so-called “sensory cortex” and “motor cortex,” can be used only for sensory and motor purposes because these parts have fixed functional ...

The BRAIN Initiative Cell Census Network 1 has taken up this challenge and created a cell atlas, focused mainly on a brain region called the primary motor cortex.

As with other parts of the brain, when neurons of the primary motor cortex are damaged they will never regrow or repair. However, the brain can heal itself and regain some lost function through ...

Large parts of the American‘s hippocampus – the region of the brain that is a major element in learning and memory processes – were removed in the 1950s in an attempt to cure his epileptic seizures.

Large parts of the American's hippocampus -- the region of the brain that is a major element in learning and memory processes -- were removed in the 1950s in an attempt to cure his epileptic seizures.

The ephrin-A5 pattern across the plane of the cortical plate suggested a potential role as a tangentially specific label. Expression was prominent in the primary somatosensory and motor areas in a ...
