Transcranial (electro) magnetic stimulation (TMS) is currently the method of choice to non-
invasively induce neural activity in the human brain. A single transcranial stimulus induces a …

Motor learning encompasses a wide range of phenomena, ranging from relatively low-level
mechanisms for maintaining calibration of our movements, to making high-level cognitive …

Our brain has developed a specific system to represent the space closely surrounding the
body, termed peripersonal space (PPS). This space has a key functional role as it is where …

Noninvasively mapping the layout of cortical areas in humans is a continuing challenge for
neuroscience. We present a new method of mapping cortical areas based on myelin content …

Our understanding of the functions of motor system evolved remarkably in the last 20 years.
This is the consequence not only of an increase in the amount of data on this system but …

The supplementary motor complex consists of the supplementary motor area, the
supplementary eye field and the pre-supplementary motor area. In recent years, these areas …

Empathy, the ability to vicariously experience and to understand the affect of other people, is
fundamental for successful social-cognitive ability and behaviour. Empathy is thought to be a …

The prefrontal cortex makes up almost a quarter of the human brain, and it expanded
dramatically during primate evolution. The Neurobiology of the Prefrontal Cortex presents a …

The cortical motor system of primates is formed by a mosaic of anatomically and functionally
distinct areas. These areas are not only involved in motor functions, but also play a role in …

Evidence has been accumulating that the primate cerebellum contributes not only to motor
control, but also to higher'cognitive'function. However, there is no consensus about how the …
