Topography of the primary motor cortex, showing which zone controls each body part Many of the brain areas defined by Brodmann have their own complex ... correlates to the precision of motor control ...

Neuroscientists have uncovered how sensory input is transformed into motor action across multiple brain regions in mice.

Researchers are using works by Johann Sebastian Bach, along with MEG and MRI scans, to investigate how the brain compensates ...

The premotor cortex occupies the part of Brodmann area 6 that ... cortex and the supplementary motor area in humans while blood flow in the brain was monitored in a positron emission scanner. When ...

Once the current stops, that part of the brain resumes its usual activity. The changes during stimulation are only temporary. Typically, areas that have language, motor, sensory, or vision are mapped.

Researchers at the University of Michigan have employed propofol to investigate how the thalamus and cortex interact, ...

yet the brain can only draw on sensory modalities to gather information on the rest of the body and on the outer world. Traditionally, cortical areas processing the identity and location of sensory ...

Researchers have discovered how two brain areas, neocortex and thalamus ... are implemented by selective boosting of unexpected sensory information. These findings enhance our understanding ...

The program in Perception, Brain and Behavior is designed to provide students with the training necessary to conduct research on the sensory aspects of vision and hearing. The faculty members in this ...

Study leader Professor Leonardo Bonetti, from the Center for Music in the Brain at Aarhus University, said: "This suggests that the sensory areas of older brains work harder to compensate for the ...

However, not all areas of the brain sleep equally. We know this intuitively because sensory stimuli, such as an alarm clock or a baby’s cry, can still wake us up. By contrast, we typically do not move ...

The study shows that when older individuals listen to familiar music, sensory-related areas of the brain become extra active, while the regions responsible for memory function are less active.
