Among the many wonders of the brain is its ability to master movements through practice — a dance step, piano sonata, or tying our shoes. For decades, neuroscientists have known that these tasks ...

Basal ganglia are deep grey matter structures in the brain involved in the control of posture and voluntary movements, cognition, behaviour, and motivational states. Several conditions are known to ...

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 ...
