While there is no proof that the viral "pinky test" prevents Alzheimer's disease, neurologists say finger coordination ...

A simple finger movement known as the "Pinky Time Exercise" has gone viral on social media with claims that it can reduce the ...

Signals relayed to motor neurons from the brain enable muscle movement, but these signals typically pass through spinal interneurons before they reach their destination. How the brain and this highly ...

Physical fitness, physical activity and screen time are associated with brain mechanisms underlying mental health and learning, according to two recent studies from the University of Eastern Finland ...

Researchers discover rotating spiral brain waves that travel across cortical networks, acting as a space-and-time clock for ...

Four hundred million years ago, the emergence of rhythmic air-breathing enabled vertebrates to transition successfully from aquatic to terrestrial environments. Since then, animals in these taxa have ...

Swallowing is a complex act requiring precise coordination of the mouth, throat, and voice box. After a stroke, damage to the ...

We used network models to explore possible functions of hub neurons. We tested the hypothesis that weakly tuned hub neurons act as local amplifiers of tuning selectivity through recurrent connections ...

Remember jumping rope on the playground? That simple activity you enjoyed as a kid turns out to be one of the most powerful brain-boosting exercises you can do. While most people pick up a jump rope ...

Brain-wide map showing 75,000 analysed neurons lighting up during different stages of decision-making. At the beginning of the trial, the activity is quiet. Then it builds up in the visual areas at ...

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 ...
