In A Nutshell A timing gap of just 50 to 100 milliseconds determines whether a dopamine signal in the brain drives learning ...
A new study by neuroscientists shows that our brain deals with different forms of visual uncertainty during movements in distinct ways. Depending on the type of uncertainty, planning and execution of ...
Neurons deep in the brain not only help to initiate movement -- they also actively suppress it, and with astonishing precision. The findings are especially relevant for better understanding ...

Study finds split-second brain timing that links learning and movement
A growing body of neuroscience research is revealing that the brain’s ability to learn and its ability to move depend on the ...
A small burst of energy can change how a movement feels. It can make a reach quicker, a step lighter, or a motion more ...
Scientists have long studied the role of dopamine, a chemical in the brain that helps control learning and movement, in order ...
Whether speaking or swinging a bat, precise and adaptable timing of movement is essential for everyday behavior. Although we do not have sensory organs like eyes or a nose to sense time, we can keep ...
Researchers have identified a network of connections linking the brainstem and spinal cord that helps control hand and arm movements, revealing an unexpected layer of the nervous system enabling ...
Imagine waking up thirsty at night and having to reach for a glass of water in the dark. Without a clear view, your brain has to estimate where the glass is and where your hand is - a challenge that ...
SNr neurons in the midbrain send precise signals to control movement. Their activity determines which movements actions are initiated or inhibited. Neurons deep in the brain not only help to initiate ...
