Gait disorders and freezing of gait are challenging symptoms in Parkinson’s disease. Cortical gait centers as the supplementary motor area appear to be relevant in gait control. We hypothesize that ...

For almost a century, budding neuroscientists have been taught that the headband-like strip of brain tissue over our ears that controls our movements, called the motor cortex, contains an orderly map ...

Transcranial static magnetic field stimulation (tSMS) is a non-invasive brain stimulation technique that is portable and easy to use. Long-term, home-based treatments with tSMS of the supplementary ...

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 ...

In a recent study published in the Nature Journal, researchers performed precision functional mapping (PFM) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to map the functional organization of the ...
