Muscle synergies represent coordinated activation patterns of groups of muscles that simplify the control of complex movements. This concept suggests that the central nervous system reduces the ...

Leibniz Institute for Primate Research in Göttingen have discovered that the brain reorganizes itself extensively across ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. — Inside neurons, motor proteins haul precious cargo, moving essential goods along thread-like roadways called microtubule tracks. This miniature highway system is vital for keeping ...

The study of aiming movements encompasses the intricate balance between rapid, pre-planned motor commands and slower, corrective adjustments that ensure accuracy. In goal-directed tasks, the initial ...

Movement in animals is complex. Little has been known about how spinal inhibitory interneurons work to silence other neurons and related muscle groups in coordination with the active muscle groups ...

Within the brain’s frontal lobe lies the primary motor cortex, a sliver of neurons that coordinates movement. Beginning in the 1930s, scientists developed a map of this brain region called a ...

How humans move is an open question, according to Mark Latash, distinguished professor of kinesiology at Penn State. Investigations continue into how the nervous system generates meaningful movements, ...

While there’s no cure, there are some ways to put the brakes on this progressive disease. First: exercise! People with early ...

To better understand the origins of noise, we need to think about how the rotation movement takes place. When a stepper motor performs a step, it does not stop immediately but continues to move ...

Electric motors, which convert electrical energy into mechanical energy, play an essential role in a variety of industrial and robotics applications. Given that electric motors account for ...

However, prior research has shown that these problems do go undetected and unmanaged. One study from Australia found that ...

Inside neurons, motor proteins haul precious cargo, moving essential goods along thread-like roadways called microtubule tracks. Inside neurons, motor proteins haul precious cargo, moving essential ...
