Inside neurons, motor proteins haul precious cargo, moving essential goods along thread-like roadways called microtubule tracks. Inside neurons, motor proteins haul precious cargo, moving essential ...

Scientists have identified previously unknown neural modules in the brain that control movement and adapt during skill learning. Their findings challenge long-held ideas about how the brain organizes ...

Facial expression control starts in a very old part of the nervous system. In the brain stem sits the facial nucleus, which ...

The terms mobility and flexibility are often used interchangeably in fitness conversations, yet they represent distinctly different aspects of physical capability with unique implications for movement ...

Neurons deep in the brain not only help to initiate movement—they also actively suppress it, and with astonishing precision. This is the conclusion of a new study by researchers at the University of ...

Within the brain’s frontal lobe lies the primary motor cortex, a sliver of neurons that coordinates movement. Beginning in the 1930s, scientists developed a map of this brain region called a ...

A research team at the University of Osaka has identified a crucial brain region involved in motor learning during reaching movements. The parvocellular division of the red nucleus, a small but ...

Ikoma, Japan – Plant movement has been long fascinated by many researchers. Legumes are a group of plants famous for exhibiting various leaf movements, including “nyctinastic movement”, in which the ...

Learning mathematics while engaging the full body through physical movement can improve math performance for first graders, according to a new study from Denmark. The February 2017 study, ...
