Brain implant allows paralyzed Colorado man to feel phantom finger movements through cortex procedure, marking major ...

Restoring both walking and sensation to patients with paraplegia is an ambitious goal—but a team of researchers from the Keck ...

Researchers have discovered that the dorsal premotor cortex serves a 'meta-learning' function, overseeing and regulating physical movements. Once believed to be limited to movement planning, this ...

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

"[I’m] thinking about moving my fingers, which I haven't been able to do in nine years...," Brandon Patterson said after the ...

Compared to other animal species, humans can plan and execute highly sophisticated motor tasks, including the ability to write complex characters using their hands. While many past studies have tried ...

Stroke and spinal cord injuries can severely impair motor functions, and understanding how to promote recovery is a critical challenge. While damaged neurons in the brain and spinal cord have limited ...

Synchron has developed a brain-computer interface that uses existing technologies such as the stent and catheter to allow insertion into the brain without the need for open brain surgery. Jesse Orrall ...

How does the brain perceive time? A new fMRI study identifies a three-stage neural relay from the visual cortex to the frontal regions that constructs our subjective experience of duration and timing.

What would you do if you were a doctor and had patients who were missing pieces of their skulls? If you were Eduard Hitzig, a German doctor working at a military hospital in the 1860s, you'd conduct ...

Wilder Penfield, a pioneering brain surgeon, mapped the motor cortex using mild electric current. Wilder Penfield took the next exploratory voyage into the brain starting in the 1940s. While operating ...
