New connections begin to form between brain cells almost immediately as animals learn a new task, according to a study published this week in Nature. Led by researchers at the University of California ...
Mingai Li, received her B.Sc. degree and M.Sc. degree from Daqing Petroleum Institute, Heilongjiang, China, in 1987 and 1990 respectively, and Ph.D. degree from Beijing University of Technology, ...
Aya Takeoka at the RIKEN Center for Brain Science (CBS) in Japan and colleagues have discovered the neural circuitry in the spinal cord that allows brain-independent motor learning. Published in ...
When we learn a new motor skill—whether mastering a piano passage or refining balance while walking—the brain must reorganize the circuits that control movement. For decades, this process of synaptic ...
We don't usually realize it, but every word we speak depends on a series of complex brain processes working behind the scenes ...
The motor cortex, the part of the brain involved in the planning, control, and execution of voluntary movements, may play a role in translating vocabulary from foreign languages into a person’s native ...
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 ...
The motor cortex is a brain region known to control the body’s voluntary movements. However, the team of neuroscientists have now shown that it can also help translating foreign language words into ...
When the Golden State Warriors’ Steph Curry makes a free throw, his brain draws on motor memory. Now researchers at UC San Francisco have shown how this type of memory is consolidated during sleep, ...
