This important study combines optogenetic manipulations and wide-field imaging to show that the retrosplenial cortex controls behavioral responses to whisker deflection in a context-dependent manner.

In a novel set of experiments with mice trained to do a sequence of movements and "change course" at the spur of the moment, Johns Hopkins scientists report they have identified areas of the animals' ...

Our body movements profoundly impact how our brain processes sensory information. Historically, it was believed that the brain's primary motor cortex played a key role in modulating sensory ...

A new study reveals that the frequency of alpha waves in the parietal cortex influences how we perceive body ownership, ...

Typically, the sensorimotor connections between the cerebral cortex and cerebellum develop during the first few years of life. In a press release Müller said, Our findings suggest that the early ...

While listening to music, our ability to feel internalized rhythms and generate rhythmic movements synchronized with a song's beat relies on the cerebellum and basal ganglia's striatum working in ...

Neuroscientists have been trying to understand how the human brain supports numerous advanced capabilities for centuries. The cerebral cortex, the outer layer of the brain, is now known to be ...
