Cerebral Cortex Damage. Damage to any region of the cerebral cortex is typically caused by tumors, autoimmune diseases, bleeding in your brain, or a stroke.Symptoms of possible damage depend on ...

The motor cortex homunculus is getting a makeover. New research has essentially redrawn the motor cortex and constitutes one of the most substantial shifts in our topographical knowledge of a sensory ...

Since the 1930s, the so-called homunculus map has shown how different parts of the brain's motor cortex may control movement to different parts of the body. But it may be missing an important ...

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.

Automated mapping of motor cortex using laser light. For automated ChR2-based motor mapping we chose a relatively collimated 473 nm laser targeted through a simple microscope ().To check the beam ...

In 2002, Michael Graziano, a Princeton University neuroscientist, and colleagues had found that the same area of the motor cortex is responsible in nonhuman primates for controlling feeding ...

The motor cortex is a part of the mammalian brain and is known to support the planning and control of voluntary body movements. Some past neuroscience studies, however, found that the motor cortex ...

Scientists’ understanding of the organization of the human motor cortex – the parts of the brain that allow us to plan, execute, and control movements – hasn’t changed much since the ...

Well, besides the motor cortex, according to the study other parts of the brain involved with learning new actions and understanding language also get revved up when we read action verbs.
