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 ...

An influential hypothesis in neuroscience is that the brain may operate near criticality, a transition zone between subcritical dynamics, associated with excessive inhibition, and super-critical ...

A new study demonstrated a brain-computer interface technology that enables spinal cord injury patients to walk with a ...

Machine learning helps to decode signals in the sensorimotor cortex (in color) and yields new insight into the therapeutic effects of dopamine (chemical formulas).

Challenging the classic view, two cognitive scientists argue in a new review that categorization is not a late, specialized stage of sensory processing. Instead, it is a core function operating at ...

The human brain ages less than thought and in layers – at least in the area of the cerebral cortex responsible for the sense of touch. Researchers at DZNE, the University of Magdeburg, and the Hertie ...

A brain that develops in the deprivation of one sense reorganizes itself in surprising ways, revealing remarkable ...

"I am often said to have identified the amygdala as the brain's 'fear' center. But the fact is, I have not done this, nor has anyone else." —Joseph LeDoux (2015) 3D illustration of both amygdala.
