Here we examined neuronal activity in the lateral (AGl) and medial (AGm) agranular cortex, corresponding to the primary and secondary motor cortex, respectively, in rats performing a dynamic ...

The secondary motor cortex (M2) acted as a "sensory gatekeeper." When the mice were moving, M2 sent inhibitory signals to the auditory cortex, blocking auditory signals from reaching the PPC.

However, the researchers were not able to determine if the signal originates in the secondary motor cortex. It could be only where it passes through, they said. Furthermore, the scientists pointed ...

Though the researchers found that a number of different areas of the brain fed into the auditory cortex, they were most interested in one region called the secondary motor cortex, or M2 ...

In the brain's secondary motor cortex, researchers have discovered two distinct maps that play a crucial role in spatial planning and navigation. The research, led by Dr. Jeffrey Erlich ...

In a previous study, published in the journal eLife (2020), the team characterized one of the neural circuits involved in the development of the disease in animal models: the connection from the ...

The books show a model of the brain in which the motor cortex is solely controlling movement. But scientists at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have found that previously ...

while stimulating the dorsal premotor cortex did. Interestingly, motor learning itself remained unaffected, but the meta-learning related to memory forgetting was significantly inhibited.
