An interdisciplinary research team at the University of Freiburg has found important clues about the functioning of the sensorimotor cortex. The new findings on neuronal activities in this brain area could be helpful for the further development and use of so-called neuroprostheses. These have an interface with the nervous system and are intended to help compensate for neuronal dysfunctions.
Scientists at the UNC School of Medicine have mapped the surface of the cortex of the young human brain with unprecedented resolution, revealing the development of key functional regions from two months before birth to two years after.
Washington [US], August 18 (ANI): The surface of the cortex of the young human brain has been mapped by scientists at the UNC School of Medicine with unprecedented resolution. It revealed the development of key functional regions from two months before birth to two years after.
Washington [US], July 28 (ANI): Neuroscientists have investigated the reciprocal interactions between two brain regions that represent visual working memory in mice. The team found that communication between these two loci of working memory, parietal cortex and premotor cortex, was co-dependent on instantaneous timescales.
Washington [US], July 27 (ANI): Researchers at the Sainsbury Wellcome Centre at UCL examined the reciprocal relationships between two brain areas that encode visual working memory in mice.
Lisbon [Portugal], February 12 (ANI): Just like learning is an integral part and parcel of growing up, similarly, learning new motor skills is a critical aspect of our lives. A new study has shed light on a newly discovered brain circuit that may endow us with this remarkable ability.
Lisbon [Portugal], February 10 (ANI): Learning is never ending. It is an integral part and parcel of growing up. Similarly, learning new motor skills is a critical aspect of our lives. From playing the piano to riding a bike, it would be difficult to imagine life without it. But how does the brain do it? A new study has shed light on a newly discovered brain circuit that may endow us with this remarkable ability.
