For people with severe motor impairments, a simple conversation can take minutes instead of seconds. Assistant Professor of Computer Science Dylan Gaines is developing technology to change that, ...

Scientists have traced connectivity between neurons to identify how the brain communicates with the spinal cord. A new brain map visualizes the connections between the brain and spinal cord at the ...

Scientists have identified previously unknown neural modules in the brain that control movement and adapt during skill learning. Their findings challenge long-held ideas about how the brain organizes ...

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 ...

Do you think it’s your gym that helps you grow stronger? You may need to rethink that assumption. Recent research is reshaping how scientists understand strength, shifting the focus from muscles alone ...

Scientists traced connectivity between neurons to identify how the brain communicates with the spinal cord to control motor function. Signals relayed to motor neurons from the brain enable muscle ...
