Traditional and new disciplines converge in suggesting that the parietal lobe underwent a
considerable expansion during human evolution. Through the study of endocasts and shape …

The incredible capability of the brain to quickly alter performance in response to ever-
changing environment is rooted in the process of adaptation. The core aspect of adaptation …

In primates, neural mechanisms for controlling skilled hand actions primarily rely on
sensorimotor transformations. These transformations are mediated by circuits linking specific …

Classical neurophysiology suggests that the motor cortex (MI) has a unique role in action
control. In contrast, this review presents evidence for multiple parieto-frontal spinal …

The statistical structure of intrinsic parietal and parieto-frontal connectivity in monkeys was
studied through hierarchical cluster analysis. Based on their inputs, parietal and frontal …

Survival in a fast-changing environment requires animals not only to detect unexpected
sensory events, but also to react. In humans, these salient sensory events generate large …

The functional organization of the parieto-frontal system is crucial for understanding
cognitive-motor behavior and provides the basis for interpreting the consequences of …

Cortical networks are characterized by the origin, destination, and reciprocity of their
connections, as well as by the diameter, conduction velocity, and synaptic efficacy of their …

Background MRI-guided transcranial focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) as a next-generation
neuromodulation tool can precisely target and stimulate deep brain regions with high spatial …

When people experience or expect pain, they move differently. Pain-altered movement
strategies, collectively described here as pain-related movement dysfunction (PRMD), may …
