Aya Takeoka at the RIKEN Center for Brain Science (CBS) in Japan and colleagues have discovered the neural circuitry in the spinal cord that allows brain-independent motor learning. Published in ...

The motor cortex, the part of the brain involved in the planning, control, and execution of voluntary movements, may play a role in translating vocabulary from foreign languages into a person’s native ...

In a recent study published in Nature Neuroscience, a group of researchers explored how the cerebellum directly affects dopamine release in the substantia nigra compacta (SNc). While the cerebellum's ...

Many police firearms training programs confuse exposure with true learning, creating skills that work on the firing range but fail under real-world pressure.
