The connectivity between the supplementary motor area (SMA) and the primary motor cortex (M1) is critical for motor preparation and execution, mediated by direct glutamatergic pathways. The ...

Optogenetic climbing fiber activation regulates experience-dependent plasticity in the primary somatosensory cortex of mice, suggesting a role of the olivo-cerebellum in instructive signaling across ...

Dual-coil paired-pulse transcranial magnetic stimulation (ppTMS) has garnered interest for its potential in elucidating neural circuit dynamics. In this study, the dual-coil ppTMS was utilized to ...

This study provides important insights as to how interacting brain areas produce movement during the execution of a skilled multi-directional reaching task. Using a combination of single neuron and ...

Introduction Hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP) is a rare neurodegenerative disorder characterised by spasticity and weakness in both lower limbs due to axonal degeneration of the corticospinal tract ...

Abstract: Chronic pain poses considerable health risks, necessitating the development of effective treatments. Physical modulation of the motor cortex has demonstrated promise for pain relief; however ...

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 ...

Humans exert cognitive control over cognitive functions. Meta-learning is one such metacognitive ability, in which people learn how to efficiently learn the same or similar tasks through experience.
