Machine learning algorithms find patterns in human movement data collected by continuous monitoring, yielding insights that ...

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 ...

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 ...

Neurons deep in the brain not only help to initiate movement—they also actively suppress it, and with astonishing precision. This is the conclusion of a new study by researchers at the University of ...

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 ...

The field of motor adaptation and development has long been a subject of intense study, particularly in the context of the ...

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 ...

Embedded motor control for robotic applications is changing medical research and procedures, from the drug-development lab to the radiology department to the operating room. Robotics has profoundly ...

A drug candidate found to protect nerve cells damaged by motor neuron disease (MND), could offer new hope to people living ...

On a chilly day in the fall of 2020, Scott Imbrie’s joyful voice preceded his entrance into the seventh-floor lobby of the Center for Care and Discovery, the University of Chicago Medicine’s flagship ...

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 ...
