The frontal lobes in the brain are a component of the cerebral system that supports goal-
directed behaviour. However, their functional organization remains controversial. Recent …

One fundamental function of primary motor cortex (MI) is to control voluntary movements.
Recent evidence suggests that this role emerges from distributed networks rather than …

Magnetic fields from neuronal action potentials (APs) pass largely unperturbed through
biological tissue, allowing magnetic measurements of AP dynamics to be performed …

An improved understanding of how the brain allocates mental resources as a function of task
difficulty is critical for enhancing human performance. Functional near infrared spectroscopy …

The prefrontal cortex makes up almost a quarter of the human brain, and it expanded
dramatically during primate evolution. The Neurobiology of the Prefrontal Cortex presents a …

From an early age, musicians learn complex motor and auditory skills (eg, the translation of
visually perceived musical symbols into motor commands with simultaneous auditory …

Recent studies have shown that frontoparietal cortices and interconnecting regions in the
basal ganglia and the cerebellum are related to motor skill learning. We propose that motor …

Although the functions of sleep remain largely unknown, one of the most exciting
hypotheses is that sleep contributes importantly to processes of memory and brain plasticity …

Recovery of motor function after stroke may occur over weeks or months and is often
attributed to cerebral reorganization. We have investigated the longitudinal relationship …

Learning involves a transformation of brain-wide operation dynamics. However, our
understanding of learning-related changes in macroscopic dynamics is limited. Here, we …
