Researchers discovered how brain filters sensory inputs to focus on specific smells, tastes, or sounds by hardwiring sensory and motor cortices. This mechanism enables immediate motor signals to enhance sensory perception, illustrating the intricate connection between sensation and motor control.
Researchers are developing new rehabilitation techniques to help mild stroke patients improve their attentional control, motor skills, and response consistency. The study aims to identify specific deficits and develop targeted therapies using magnetic resonance imaging.
Researchers have identified a brain region involved in planning movement, which also controls gain control of eye movements. This finding provides new insight into how the brain adjusts to moving objects, allowing for smooth image display.
A UC Davis researcher has discovered that damage to the insula region is a crucial impediment to motor control necessary for words and sentences. The insula, located deep within each hemisphere, is about two inches wide and contains a small area critical for coordinating speech sounds.
