How did the bodies of animals, including ours, become such fine-tuned movement machines? This paper cuts directly into critical debates about how the ancient spinal cord and the relatively new human ...

Spinal cord circuitry, not the brain, controls reflexes for smooth movements, as revealed in a study. This could pave the way for newer neurological disorder therapies. An intriguing question has ...

The visual cortex – a region of the brain known to process sensory information – plays a key role in promoting the plasticity of innate, spontaneous eye movements, according to a study. By peering ...

As soon as your baby’s born, you’ll notice their primitive reflexes — although you might not know them by name. Case in point: Nothing in the world produces the same amount of wonder that you feel ...

“This study elegantly shows how analysis of eye movement sheds more light on brain plasticity — an ability that is at the core of the brain’s capacity to adapt and function. More specifically, it ...
