When novel movements are learned -- for example, in sports -- visual and motor learning take place simultaneously. In findings reported this week, researchers present an experiment that separates the ...

Motor commands issued by the brain to activate arm muscles take two different routes. As a research group has now discovered, many neurons in the spinal cord send their instructions not only towards ...

Paige Thompson, a first year PhD student working with Dr. Laura Claxton in the Purdue Motor Development Lab, presented work on bimanual motor interactions during infancy at the International Congress ...

The neural circuitry of Aplysia has long served as a model for understanding the fundamental principles of motor control and behavioural plasticity. Research in this field has revealed that even ...
