New connections begin to form between brain cells almost immediately as animals learn a new task, according to a study published this week in Nature. Led by researchers at the University of California ...

Neurogenetic disorders, such as neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), are diseases caused by a defect in one or more genes, which can sometimes result in cognitive and motor impairments. Better ...

In contrast, participants with optimal learning strategies, regardless of age, even showed a negative trend in performance when receiving atDCS. This difference suggests that brain stimulation is more ...

A research team at The University of Osaka has identified a crucial brain region involved in motor learning during reaching movements. The parvocellular division of the red nucleus, a small but ...

For decades, most scientists treated the spinal cord as little more than a biological cable. The brain gave orders, the ...

When faced with difficult tasks, sometimes people hit a mental wall and make the decision to "sleep on it." Returning to the task after sleeping, they often perform better. Why? Rhythmic brain ...

Your brain might be lying to you about your new robotic leg. New research shows that users often think they're walking much better—or worse—than they actually are.

This rare speech motor disorder prevents effective speech planning, leaving some children persistently difficult to understand without specialist support.

Structured neurorehabilitation frameworks, such as Bobath therapy, play a critical role in helping patients relearn movement safely, efficiently, and functionally.

A study reveals that the effectiveness of brain stimulation on motor skills is determined by an individual's learning ability rather than age, highlighting the need for a more personalized approach to ...
