A new study by neuroscientists shows that our brain deals with different forms of visual uncertainty during movements in distinct ways. Depending on the type of uncertainty, planning and execution of ...

A male fruit fly in a laboratory chamber extends his wings and vibrates them to produce his species' version of a love song. A female fly stays nearby listening. Suddenly, a green light flashes across ...

Flexible control of movement timing is essential for behavior, relying on an adjustable timer in the brain. By measuring and manipulating activity in interacting brain regions, scientists could pause ...

This functional MRI image of a human brain illustrates the connection between the insula (smaller brain image) and the dorsal lateral prefrontal cortex (larger brain image) as a result of cognitive ...

Studies on the neurons of mice suggest our own human endurance may have more to do with the brain than our physique. Regular exercise strengthens muscles and improves endurance—but new research ...
