In a recent study published in Nature Neuroscience, a group of researchers explored how the cerebellum directly affects dopamine release in the substantia nigra compacta (SNc). While the cerebellum's ...

Within the human brain, movement is coordinated by a brain region called the striatum, which sends instructions to motor neurons in the brain. Those instructions are conveyed by two pathways, one that ...

Brain-robot interfaces — apparatuses where brain activity controls the movements of a robotic device that supports a hand or limb — show promise in rehabilitating paralyzed stroke patients. Yet the ...
