neural control

Once thought of as a mere motor coordination center, the “little brain” is now appreciated as participating in higher neurological processes.

The experimental system, developed and tested in just one patient so far, relies on brain signals associated with handwriting to achieve the fastest communication yet seen with BCI.

A tiny implanted optofluidic device enables researchers to control mouse nerves without touching the animals.

An implantable wireless device with microfluidic and optical components allows manipulation of individual nerve fibers in mice’s extremities.

Precisely timed electrical stimulation and intensive rehabilitation restore some capacity to walk among three men more than four years after their debilitating injuries.

Researchers directly recorded neural activity in both sides of the brain’s cortex during the movement of only one arm in humans.

The complex connectivities of mammalian and avian brains can confound the outcomes of transient neural manipulations, researchers show.

Researchers present sonogenetics, a technique to activate select Caenorhabditis elegans neurons with ultrasound waves.

As the flying mammals navigate complex environments, they make use of specialized brain cells that cooperate to build a coordinate system that works in three dimensions.

A study reveals structural differences between the brains of artists and non-artists.

Researchers can see the differences in the neuronal activity of monkeys that use different strategies to reach out to a target.

Even while remaining motionless, macaques are able to increase the activity of a particular brain region, improving their concentration and search abilities.
