The execution and learning of diverse movements involve neuronal networks distributed
throughout the nervous system. The brainstem and basal ganglia are key for processing …

Recent progress in fluorescence imaging allows neuroscientists to observe the dynamics of
thousands of individual neurons, identified genetically or by their connectivity, across …

Placebo effects are notable demonstrations of mind–body interactions,. During pain
perception, in the absence of any treatment, an expectation of pain relief can reduce the …

The past several years have brought revelations and paradigm shifts in research on the
cerebellum. Historically viewed as a simple sensorimotor controller with homogeneous …

The neocortex and cerebellum interact to mediate cognitive functions. It remains unknown
how the two structures organize into functional networks to mediate specific behaviors. Here …

The motor cortex controls skilled arm movement by sending temporal patterns of activity to
lower motor centres. Local cortical dynamics are thought to shape these patterns throughout …

The human brain is a complex, adaptive system comprised of billions of cells with trillions of
connections. The interactions between the elements of the system oppose this seemingly …

The cerebellum has long been proposed to play a role in cognitive function, although this
has remained controversial. This idea has received renewed support with the recent …

An impressive body of research over the past 30 years has implicated the human
cerebellum in a broad range of functions, including motor control, perception, language …

Reliable sensory discrimination must arise from high-fidelity neural representations and
communication between brain areas. However, how neocortical sensory processing …
