In neuroscience and neuropsychology, the cerebellum has traditionally been recognized for its essential role in motor coordination. However, a growing body ...

How do neurons transport proteins? A new study reveals that Kinesin-2 motor subtypes regulate cargo specificity.

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 ...

Can exercise replace ADHD medication? A new study reveals that integrated cognitive-motor exercise significantly improves inhibitory control and working memory in children aged 6–10.

The motor cortex homunculus is getting a makeover. New research has essentially redrawn the motor cortex and constitutes one of the most substantial shifts in our topographical knowledge of a sensory ...

A research team has revealed that a molecule in the brain -- ophthalmic acid -- unexpectedly acts like a neurotransmitter similar to dopamine in regulating motor function, offering a new therapeutic ...

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 ...

Editor’s note: The Lab Report is a weekly series in The Badger Herald’s print edition where we take a deep dive into the (research) lives of students and professors outside the classroom. The ...

The profound impact of neurological injuries and diseases, such as stroke, spinal cord injury, and neurodegenerative disorders, often manifests as ...

Researchers discovered that variations in kinesin motor proteins control selective cargo transport in neurons, enabling ...

Patients with Parkinson disease treated with acupuncture-related therapies combined with conventional medication exhibited significant improvements in motor function and experiences of daily living, ...

Melanie Frias Veras, who earned her master’s degree in applied cognitive science and human factors from Michigan Tech in 2025, wears a functional near-infrared spectroscopy cap for noninvasive brain ...
