Humans and animals rely on sensory feedback to dynamically adjust motor behaviors as they interact with an ever-changing world. Yet, the neural mechanisms underlying sensory-guided motor control are ...

The Australian research, which aims to help people with motor neuron disease keep moving, is now testing AI to personalise ...

Although a fly's motor neurons are few, it performs remarkable aerial and terrestrial feats. A wiring diagram recently created of the motor circuits in the central nervous system of the fruit fly is ...

The seemingly simple act of reaching for a cup of coffee requires a lot of effort from the brain. It has to plan a trajectory to the cup, control dozens of muscles, make adjustments based on feedback ...

Work is underway on a wiring diagram of the motor circuits in the central nervous system that control muscles in fruit flies. This connectome, as the wiring diagram is called, is already providing ...

The hypoglossal nerve is one of the 12 cranial nerves arising from the brain. It's a paired nerve, and you have two — left and right. Together, the two hypoglossal ...
