Scientists at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital created a single-cell atlas of a key class of spinal neurons involved in motor coordination. From that resource, they identified a small subgroup of ...

When the signal sounds, all the runners push off from their starting blocks and set off sprinting. We can act within ...

A research team at the University of Osaka has identified a crucial brain region involved in motor learning during reaching movements. The parvocellular division of the red nucleus, a small but ...

A new study by neuroscientists shows that our brain deals with different forms of visual uncertainty during movements in distinct ways. Depending on the type of uncertainty, planning and execution 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 ...

Motor control refers to the integrated processes by which the nervous system plans, initiates and regulates movement. Voluntary actions originate in cortical regions—the prefrontal, premotor and ...

The terms mobility and flexibility are often used interchangeably in fitness conversations, yet they represent distinctly different aspects of physical capability with unique implications for movement ...
