Researchers at the German Primate Center (DPZ)—Leibniz Institute for Primate Research in Göttingen have discovered that the brain reorganizes itself extensively across several brain regions when it ...

A new study by neuroscientists shows that our brain deals with different forms of visual uncertainty during movements in distinct ways. Depending on the type of uncertainty, planning and execution of ...

Neurons deep in the brain not only help to initiate movement -- they also actively suppress it, and with astonishing precision. The findings are especially relevant for better understanding ...

One hundred milliseconds. That is roughly the time it takes to blink. It is also, according to a new study, the difference between a dopamine signal linked to learning-related changes in the brain and ...

A high-resolution brain interface records movement signals from the brain's surface, enabling real-time control performance similar to invasive implants without entering brain tissue. (Nanowerk ...

Whether speaking or swinging a bat, precise and adaptable timing of movement is essential for everyday behavior. Although we do not have sensory organs like eyes or a nose to sense time, we can keep ...

Last month, I began a series of posts focusing on recent scientific research that supports the philosophical claims in my latest book, Why We Dance: A Philosophy of Bodily Becoming. In turn, I am ...

A new study reveals the brain doesn’t rely on a single clock but builds our sense of time through multiple stages across ...

SNr neurons in the midbrain send precise signals to control movement. Their activity determines which movements actions are initiated or inhibited. Neurons deep in the brain not only help to initiate ...

Imagine waking up thirsty at night and having to reach for a glass of water in the dark. Without a clear view, your brain has to estimate where the glass is and where your hand is - a challenge that ...
