They linked those patterns to different kinds of shoulder muscle movements. In the study, published in the scientific journal 'Nature', researchers identified rhythmic brain cell firing patterns coordinated across populations of neurons in the motor cortex.
A team of scientists have shown that the motor cortex's effects on movement can be much more easily understood by looking at groups of motor cortex neurons instead of individual nerve cells. The recently published work reports how nerve cells in the brain control movement, which may help unlock the secrets of the motor cortex, a critical region that has long resisted scientists' efforts to understand it.įor years, scientists have been trying to establish a one-to-one relationship between a neuron's behaviour and factors such as muscle activity or speed of movement.
