Inside neurons, motor proteins haul precious cargo, moving essential goods along thread-like roadways called microtubule tracks. This miniature highway system is vital for keeping neurons healthy: ...

Many people with multiple sclerosis struggle with balance and coordination, and this study uncovers a hidden reason why.

Neurons deep in the brain not only help to initiate movement—they also actively suppress it, and with astonishing precision. This is the conclusion of a new study by researchers at the University of ...

Within the brain’s frontal lobe lies the primary motor cortex, a sliver of neurons that coordinates movement. Beginning in the 1930s, scientists developed a map of this brain region called a ...

A research team at the University of Osaka has identified a crucial brain region involved in motor learning during reaching movements. The parvocellular division of the red nucleus, a small but ...

Ikoma, Japan – Plant movement has been long fascinated by many researchers. Legumes are a group of plants famous for exhibiting various leaf movements, including “nyctinastic movement”, in which the ...
