Auditory corollary discharge in the human starts in the bottom, or ventral, part of the motor cortex, a subregion called the precentral gyrus (red), and then move down across its folds to a ...

Movement is a complex process governed by a network of neuronal circuits spread across multiple regions of the nervous system ...

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 ...

Vision shapes behavior and, a new study by MIT neuroscientists finds, behavior and internal states shape vision. The research, published Nov. 25 in Neuron, finds in mice that via specific circuits, ...

When a baby smiles at you, it's almost impossible not to smile back. This spontaneous reaction to a facial expression is part ...

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 ...

Brain mapping reveals the circuitry involved in distinguishing self-generated sounds from external noises, advancing our understanding of human speech and auditory hallucinations. Have you ever ...

For 200 years, scientists have speculated that different parts of the brain were responsible for different types of activity and behaviors and have tried to build maps of the brain, carving it up into ...
