How humans move is an open question, according to Mark Latash, distinguished professor of kinesiology at Penn State.

Muscle synergies represent coordinated activation patterns of groups of muscles that simplify the control of complex movements. This concept suggests that the central nervous system reduces the ...

Motor control encompasses the neural processes that coordinate movement through both volitional commands and rapid sensory feedback. Contemporary research reveals that motor actions are not pre‐set ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. — 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 ...

Stress seems to have a negative effect on the learning of movements - at least in mice. This is the conclusion of a recent study. According to the study, the neurons of rodents lose some of their ...

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 ...

To better understand the origins of noise, we need to think about how the rotation movement takes place. When a stepper motor performs a step, it does not stop immediately but continues to move ...

As previously mentioned, the feedback sensors include position sensors to track the rotor’s location, current sensors to measure the motor phase currents, voltage sensors to monitor the DC bus voltage ...

In a fruit fly, nerve cells that detect limb movement are silenced when the insect walks or grooms. This on-off switch may help the nervous system to shift between two states: one helps keep the body ...

It offers music, movement, and theater as structured practices that can enhance physical strength, sharpen cognitive skills, ...

Inside neurons, motor proteins haul precious cargo, moving essential goods along thread-like roadways called microtubule tracks. Inside neurons, motor proteins haul precious cargo, moving essential ...
