Deep brain stimulation is a key procedure in the treatment of Parkinson's disease. Researchers have now identified the ...

Scientists have found a key brain network that’s disrupted by Parkinson’s disease, according to a study published today in ...

Donoghue was awarded the prize, considered among the most prestigious honors in engineering, for pioneering work in ...

Scientists developed a technique to grow cells that control voluntary movement, a discovery that could aid ALS and spinal ...

All bodily feelings reflect a sixth sense we have called interoception. Explore its interesting idiosyncrasies and the role ...

A research team has developed a way to produce a subset of highly specialised brain neurons that centrally degenerate in motor neuron disease and are damaged in spinal cord injury, laying foundations ...

Abstract: Transcranial AC stimulation (tACS) of the cerebellum can entrain spiking activity in the Purkinje cells (PCs) of the cerebellar cortex and, through their projections, the cells in the ...

MIT scientists found that what we see is strongly influenced by how alert or active we are. Parts of the brain responsible for planning and control send specialized signals that either boost or quiet ...

Vision shapes behavior and, a new study by MIT neuroscientists finds, behavior and internal states shape vision. The research, published Nov. 25 in Neuron, finds in mice that via specific circuits, ...

MIT researchers discovered that the prefrontal cortex doesn’t just send generic control signals—it tailors its messages to different brain regions based on arousal and movement. Credit: ...

For over 150 years, neuroscientists have known that a small region in the left frontal lobe—Broca's area—plays a crucial role in speech production. Named after French physician Paul Broca, who ...
