This laboratory course provides a hands-on experience with the concepts and topics centered around the behavioral and neuroscientific foundations of human movement control, coordination, and the ...

Comparing the brains of mice that exercised with those that did not, researchers found that specific neurotransmitters switched following sustained exercise, leading to improved learning for ...

A new study from the University of Eastern Finland finds that physical fitness and moderate, active screen time improve ...

The motor cortex, the part of the brain involved in the planning, control, and execution of voluntary movements, may play a role in translating vocabulary from foreign languages into a person’s native ...

From writing an article and typing to playing a violin or being a tennis star, the learning of tasks involving movement is one of the brain’s most complex challenges. How does one acquire new motor ...

Scientists at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD), have identified changes in how neurons in the brain behave that may explain the neurological basis by which physical exercise can improve ...

Researchers exploring risky decision-making in rats found that a specific reward-related neural circuit influences impulsivity and risk-taking in complex ways that depend on timing and biological sex.
