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 ...

How does the brain learn from mistakes? A new Duke study reveals a hidden circuit that helps control the learning process.

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 ...

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 ...

Flexible control of movement timing is essential for behavior, relying on an adjustable timer in the brain. By measuring and manipulating activity in interacting brain regions, scientists could pause ...

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 ...

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 ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Signals recorded by an EEG device could be routed to a spinal cord stimulator, allowing paralyzed patients to regain more precise ...

Researchers report that certain movement-related symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease may originate in the peripheral nervous ...

Surgically implanted brain-computer interface enables precise finger control in paralysis patient, unlocking potential for social and leisure activities like video gaming Study: A high-performance ...

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 ...
