In a significant departure from earlier models, neural engineers and neuroscientists have developed a new model for the brain activity underlying arm movements. Motor neurons do not represent external ...

Long before infants can clap their hands or bounce to a beat, they already show signs of understanding rhythm. A fresh scientific investigation demonstrates that newborns only a few days old can ...

Unlike their visual cousins, the neurons that control movement are not a predictable bunch. Scientists working to decode how such neurons convey information to muscles have been stymied when trying to ...
