Experiments mapping individual neurons in the sensorimotor cortex of mice show that sharp transitions in functional properties can define cortical regions.

Scientists have found a key brain network that’s disrupted by Parkinson’s disease, according to a study published today in ...

Donoghue was awarded the prize, considered among the most prestigious honors in engineering, for pioneering work in ...

When a baby smiles at you, it's almost impossible not to smile back. This spontaneous reaction to a facial expression is part of the back-and-forth that allows us to understand each other's emotions ...

Persistent compromised hand function is one of the most common long-term deficits after stroke. It is related to dysfunction of the primary motor cortex (M1) and corticospinal tract (CST) as assessed ...

Abstract: Motor imagery (MI) classification is a core task in brain–computer interfaces (BCIs), but learning robust spatial representations from electroencephalography (EEG) is hindered by low ...

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, ...

MIT researchers discovered that the prefrontal cortex doesn’t just send generic control signals—it tailors its messages to different brain regions based on arousal and movement. Credit: ...

Little is known about the function of surviving motor cortex after hemiparetic stroke. Though the corticospinal tract may be damaged, function may persist via intact intracortical connections. We ...

ABSTRACT: Background: To delay the onset of dementia with age, it is important for healthy adults to take preventive measures before cognitive decline occurs. Cognitive function decline is often ...

ABSTRACT: Stroke is currently one of the main causes of death and disability worldwide, with numerous reports indicating that it can lead to various functional impairments such as motor, sensory, ...
