Not only does practice make perfect, it also makes for more efficient generation of neuronal activity in the primary motor cortex, the area of the brain that plans and executes movement ...

In the latest shift in our view of the brain’s organization, researchers from the Gordon Neuroimaging Lab at Washington University School of Medicine, St. Louis added previously unidentified areas to ...

The cerebral regions that are most activated ... some lesser activation of the sensorimotor integration areas (BA 5,7) and primary motor cortex (BA 4). During the volitional swallowing and tongue ...

The cerebral cortex, the outermost layer of the brain, is the central driver of various human capabilities, including ...

It is widely believed that the motor cortex, a region of the cerebral cortex, is responsible for producing ... studied the vibrissa motor cortex (VMC) of the rat, an area which is known to be involved ...

While most peeks at the cerebral cortex have involved brains at rest ... "Our work is the first attempt to get a layout of different areas and networks of the brain during naturalistic conditions ...

A new study identified the areas of the brain involved in both voluntary and involuntary movement and found that neural activity was restricted to the primary motor cortex during the unconscious ...

Responses in a certain area of the primary motor cortex have previously been correlated with vocabulary learning. To investigate this further, researchers conducted experiments on whether the motor ...

Dr. Nico Dosenbach says one day they noticed something odd in the primary motor cortex, an area that controls muscles. NICO DOSENBACH: It just didn't make sense if the textbook was right.

It makes up around 12% of the surface area of the cerebral cortex. The occipital lobe contains the primary visual processing center of the brain, including the visual cortexes. When presented ...
