Compared to other animal species, humans can plan and execute highly sophisticated motor tasks, including the ability to write complex characters using their hands. While many past studies have tried ...

For almost a century, budding neuroscientists have been taught that the headband-like strip of brain tissue over our ears ...

The premotor cortex is involved in a variety of motor and cognitive functions that often cannot be unambiguously linked to its microstructural correlates. We re-analysed the cytoarchitecture of this ...

The capacity to learn enabled the human species to adapt to various challenging environmental conditions and pass important achievements on to the next generation. A growing body of research suggests ...

Researchers have discovered that the dorsal premotor cortex serves a 'meta-learning' function, overseeing and regulating physical movements. Once believed to be limited to movement planning, this ...

Auditory corollary discharge in the human starts in the bottom, or ventral, part of the motor cortex, a subregion called the precentral gyrus (red), and then move down across its folds to a ...
