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 ...

Scientists found evidence of two interleaved systems, which may help explain the connection between what's going on in our bodies and what's going on in brain areas involved in thoughts and emotions.

Mouse primary motor and somatosensory cortices contain detailed information about the many time-varying arm and paw joint angles during reaching and grasping, implying a 'low-level' role in ...
