How the brain controls complex movements has been a mystery. Advances in artificial intelligence now make it possible to simulate this process in virtual animals. Comparing activations in artificial ...

Scientists have traced connectivity between neurons to identify how the brain communicates with the spinal cord. A new brain map visualizes the connections between the brain and spinal cord at the ...

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 ...

Robotic controls started with simplistic direct-current motors. Engineers had limited mobility because they had few feedback mechanisms. Now, neuromorphic chips are entering the field, mimicking the ...

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is often talked about as if it were a single condition. But anyone who works ...

For nearly a century, scientists have known that different parts of the human brain’s cortex control different body movements. This fundamental discovery dates to the 1930s, when neurosurgeons used ...
