Neuroscience research connects dopamine, spontaneity, movement disorders, probabilistic behavior, and AI-driven brain ...

While humans are acquiring new skills that entail performing coordinated movements, such as walking, playing an instrument or ...

The superior colliculus is a midbrain region that is traditionally thought to help animals orient themselves toward important locations in space, like directing their eyes and head toward a bright ...

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 ...

Neuropsychology researchers at LMU have discovered a rhythm in the midbrain that could serve as a bio-physiological signature for specific states of consciousness. The thalamus is a deep-lying ...

Why do our mental images stay sharp even when we are moving fast? A team of neuroscientists led by Professor Maximilian Jösch at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA) has identified a ...

Scientists have long-studied the role of dopamine, a chemical in the brain that helps control learning and movement, in order to better understand Parkinson's disease, schizophrenia, and ...
