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

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

Four years ago, the NIH’s Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies (BRAIN) Initiative Cell Census Network (BICCN) was launched, with the aim of identifying and cataloguing the ...

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

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

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 ...

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