Compared to other animal species, humans can plan and execute highly sophisticated motor tasks, including the ability to write complex characters using their hands. While many past studies have tried ...

Scientists using precision fMRI have revealed that the human motor cortex alternates between effector-specific regions and a somato-cognitive action network (SCAN) linked to whole-body action planning ...

A new study identifies a neuronal circuit from the motor cortex to the insular cortex, offering a new target for non-invasive ...

Motor skills are foundational for a lifetime of movement. For children, they play a vital role not only in facilitating physical activity levels but also for cognitive and socio-emotional development ...

While tics have been considered to result from an aberrant function of the brain's motor cortex, a Kobe University mouse ...

While tics have been considered to result from an aberrant function of the brain's motor cortex, a Kobe University mouse study has now discovered a ...

The smart MAIJU jumpsuit offers a novel approach to at-home monitoring of infants' early motor development. The wearable device combines expertise in medicine, measuring technology and AI, enabling ...

A healthy diet in early pregnancy supports the child's motor development at the age of 5-6 years. Higher maternal body fat mass, on the other hand, has an adverse effect on the child's motor ...
