Scientists have traced connectivity between neurons to identify how the brain communicates with the spinal cord. A new brain map visualizes the connections between the brain and spinal cord at the ...

Our movements may be controlled by two distinct networks in our brain, rather than just one. For nearly a century, we have known that the motor cortex – a thin strip of tissue that runs across the top ...

Brain activity and breathing rhythms decouple during deep sleep, offering new insights into Parkinson's and anesthesia.

Scientists have identified previously unknown neural modules in the brain that control movement and adapt during skill learning. Their findings challenge long-held ideas about how the brain organizes ...

A mouse is running on a treadmill embedded in a virtual reality corridor. In its mind’s eye, it sees itself scurrying down a tunnel with a distinctive pattern of lights ahead. Through training, the ...
