The primary motor cortex (M1) is crucial for motor learning; however, its interaction with other brain areas during motor learning remains unclear. We hypothesized that the fronto-parietal execution ...

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease whose main neuropathological marker is the loss of dopamine-producing cells in the substantia nigra 1. Alteration of dopaminergic ...

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 ...

Learning motor skills depends on the brain's ability to change, or be plastic. Specifically, the primary motor cortex of the brain can change as a person learns new motor tasks. When someone learns a ...

Researchers have found that the brain’s ability to hear and evaluate its own speech may matter more for learning new vocal ...
