Understanding how the motor cortex is involved in active inference of speech perception and decisions is important to understanding human language intelligence, which may inspire the next generation ...

Neuroscientists are converging on a detailed picture of how the human brain carves continuous speech into words, drawing on ...

The Nature Index 2025 Research Leaders — previously known as Annual Tables — reveal the leading institutions and countries/territories in the natural and health sciences, according to their output in ...

Researchers have discovered that the dorsal premotor cortex serves a 'meta-learning' function, overseeing and regulating physical movements. Once believed to be limited to movement planning, this ...

For over 150 years, neuroscientists have known that a small region in the left frontal lobe—Broca's area—plays a crucial role in speech production. Named after French physician Paul Broca, who ...

Experiments mapping individual neurons in the sensorimotor cortex of mice show that sharp transitions in functional properties can define cortical regions.

The motor cortex homunculus is getting a makeover. New research has essentially redrawn the motor cortex and constitutes one of the most substantial shifts in our topographical knowledge of a sensory ...

Scientists found evidence of two interleaved systems, which may help explain the connection between what's going on in our bodies and what's going on in brain areas involved in thoughts and emotions.
