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 ...

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

Where does imagination come from? A new fMRI study in Neuron reveals that mental imagery emerges from the brain's association ...

The team pinpointed the exact moment mice learned a new skill by observing the activity of individual neurons, confirming earlier work that suggested animals are fast learners that purposely test the ...

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 ...

Over the past decades, computer scientists have introduced numerous artificial intelligence (AI) systems designed to emulate the organization and functioning of networks of neurons in the brain.
