The neural correlates of speech motor sequence learning [PDF]
, 2015 Speech is perhaps the most sophisticated example of a species-wide movement capability in the animal kingdom, requiring split-second sequencing of approximately 100 muscles in the respiratory, laryngeal, and oral movement systems. Despite the unique role

Cholecystokinin facilitates motor skill learning by modulating neuroplasticity in the motor cortex
eLifeCholecystokinin (CCK) is an essential modulator for neuroplasticity in sensory and emotional domains. Here, we investigated the role of CCK in motor learning using a single pellet reaching task in mice.

Increased motor cortex excitability for concealed visual information [PDF]
, 2019 Deceptive behaviour involves complex neural processes involving the primary motor cortex. The dynamics of this motor cortex excitability prior to lying are still not well understood.

The Precentral Motor Cortex [PDF]
Journal of Neuropathology and Experimental Neurology, 1945 THE opening pages of this book are a sharp reminder of the misfortunes of Europe. It is dedicated to Otfrid Foerster, the great neuro-surgeon of Breslau, and the foreword by John Fulton recalls the work of Dusser de Barenne at Utrecht. Dusser de Barenne left Utrecht for Yale in 1930, and the main development of his new methods took place there.

State Variables of the Arm May Be Encoded by Single Neuron Activity in the Monkey Motor Cortex [PDF]
, 2016 Revealing the type of information encoded by neurons activity in the motor cortex is essential not only for understanding the mechanism of motion control but also for developing a brain-machine interface.

Reorganization between preparatory and movement population responses in motor cortex
Nature Communications, 2016 Neural populations can change the computation they perform on very short timescales. Although such flexibility is common, the underlying computational strategies at the population level remain unknown.

Why I tense up when you watch me: inferior parietal cortex mediates an audience’s influence on motor performance [PDF]
, 2016 The presence of an evaluative audience can alter skilled motor performance through changes in force output. To investigate how this is mediated within the brain, we emulated real-time social monitoring of participants’ performance of a fine grip task ...

Motor Cortex Stimulation for pain relief : do corollary discharges play a role? [PDF]
, 2016 Both invasive and non-invasive motor cortex stimulation techniques have been successfully employed in the treatment of chronic pain, but the precise mechanism of action of such treatments is not fully understood.

Patterns of myeloarchitecture in lower limb amputees: an MRI study
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2015 Functional studies of cortical plasticity in humans suggest that the motor cortex reorganizes when the descending motor output pathway is disrupted as a result of limb amputation.
