Some early aspects of motor skill acquisition involve the primary motor cortex (M1)3, but the nature of that involvement is unclear. We tested the possibility that the human M1 is essential to ...

Here we show, in humans and rhesus monkeys, that a transcortical pathway through primary motor cortex (M1) resolves this ambiguity during fast feedback control.

The CON “is one of the ‘smartest’ areas of the brain, and we’re seeing it connect very strongly with these regions of primary motor cortex.” This alters our perception of the primary motor cortex's ...

A new study in mice has helped illuminate how the brain’s primary motor cortex (M1) – a brain region most commonly associated with control of motor functions – helps suppress dimensions of ...

Neuroscientists aim to understand how the primary motor cortex (M1) can regulate precise movements while supporting behavioral exploration that encounters consistent errors. While consistency in ...

A new study in mice has helped illuminate how the brain's primary motor cortex (M1) – a brain region most commonly associated with control of motor functions – helps suppress dimensions of ...

"The primary motor cortex (M1) and the primary somatosensory cortex (S1) were targeted for continuous theta-burst stimulation, while stimulation over the occipital cortex served as a control.

Animal studies have demonstrated the anterior motor cortex projecting into internally placed organs involved in sympathetic awakening, indicating that CON, with M1, may not only mediate abstract ...

For many years, neuroscientists have isolated the brain's primary motor cortex (M1), an area in the frontal lobe region, as a hub for sending out signals related to complex movements during ...

“Moreover, neuro adaptations of the basal ganglia in PD alter primary motor cortex (M1) excitability, synchrony, and the relationship between M1 activity and movement,” the researchers further ...

image: In Parkinson’s disease (PD), blockade of the movement signals originating from the primary motor cortex (M1) in the internal segment of the globus pallidus (GPi) causes movement difficulty.
