Most people never think twice about their ears, until they catch a strange little twitch they can't explain. It might happen after a sudden noise or while trying to focus on a distant sound. These ...

A biohybrid hand which can move objects and do a scissor gesture has been created. The researchers used thin strings of lab-grown muscle tissue bundled into sushilike rolls to give the fingers enough ...

Researchers have identified a previously overlooked neural pathway that helps control human hand and arm movements. The ...

Researchers have identified a network of connections between the brainstem and spinal cord that enables people to grasp, hold ...

It’s not often that a twitching, snowman-shaped blob of 3D human tissue makes someone’s day. But when Dr. Sergiu Pasca at Stanford University witnessed the tiny movement, he knew his lab had achieved ...

When a movement that has already been initiated must be suddenly stopped, a “hyperdirect” subthalamic nucleus pathway is called upon to override the primary motor control systems of the cerebral ...

Researchers identify a conserved brainstem and spinal cord pathway (C3-C4) that controls voluntary hand movements in both mice and humans.

Spontaneous, random baby movements aid development of their sensorimotor system, according to new research led by the University of Tokyo. Detailed motion capture of newborns and infants was combined ...
