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 ...

For decades, most scientists treated the spinal cord as little more than a biological cable. The brain gave orders, the ...

When faced with difficult tasks, sometimes people hit a mental wall and make the decision to "sleep on it." Returning to the task after sleeping, they often perform better. Why? Rhythmic brain ...

Scientists reveal how sleep, especially naps, boosts motor learning after TBI, offering new insights into brain activity and rehabilitation strategies to enhance recovery outcomes. New research ...

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 ...

This rare speech motor disorder prevents effective speech planning, leaving some children persistently difficult to understand without specialist support.

Your brain might be lying to you about your new robotic leg. New research shows that users often think they're walking much better—or worse—than they actually are.

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 ...

Structured neurorehabilitation frameworks, such as Bobath therapy, play a critical role in helping patients relearn movement safely, efficiently, and functionally.

Heavy leg exercises may increase production of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), a protein that supports the growth and maintenance of nerves in the brain, Carbone said. This process, called ...
