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 ...

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) of the spinal cord (spinal fMRI) was used to detect neuronal activity elicited by passive and active lower limb movement tasks, in regions caudal to the ...

With a study of the network between nerve and muscle cells in turtles, researchers have gained new insight into the way in which movements are generated and maintained. In the long term, the new ...

How did the bodies of animals, including ours, become such fine-tuned movement machines? How vertebrates coordinate the eternal tug-o-war between involuntary reflexes and seamless voluntary movements ...
