In a recent study published in Nature Human Behaviour, researchers investigated the causal contribution of specific oscillatory activity patterns within the human striatum to reinforcement motor ...

Recent research published in the journal Neurobiology of Learning and Memory has shown that elevating one’s heart rate through physical activity leads to improved motor learning when the exercise is ...

A research team has revealed that a molecule in the brain -- ophthalmic acid -- unexpectedly acts like a neurotransmitter similar to dopamine in regulating motor function, offering a new therapeutic ...

Locomotor activity is the motion necessary to get from one place to another. It is closely linked to complex human activities such as learning and motivation, and it is key to avoiding or approaching ...

Brain-wide map showing 75,000 analysed neurons lighting up during different stages of decision-making. At the beginning of the trial, the activity is quiet. Then it builds up in the visual areas at ...

A pilot intervention project involving playful activities that engaged motor skills and cognition showed promising results in improving eye movements and reading speed in eleven children with dyslexia ...

While many studies have investigated the underpinnings of the mammalian motor system (i.e., the collection of neural networks that allow mammals to move in specific ways), some questions remain ...

ADHD is associated with impulsivity, hyperactivity, and trouble with focus, but kids with ADHD may also struggle with motor ...
