New findings indicate that the striatum and motor cortex jointly specify movement parameters, challenging previous beliefs about their roles. This insight could advance understanding of movement disorders like Parkinson's and Huntington's. Read the full story at 🔗 https://sciencex.com/r/?n=659884321 Credit: Neuron (2025).

Simple pinky movements = powerful brain stimulation 🧠✋ Finger and hand movement exercises — even something as small as moving the pinky — can be very helpful for people with Alzheimer’s and other cognitive decline. These movements: • Activate the motor cortex • Increase blood flow to the brain • Maintain fine motor skills • Keep neural pathways engaged Try these pinky-focused exercises: 🔹 Pinky lifts Place your hand flat on a table. Slowly lift only the pinky finger. Hold 2–3 seconds, relax. ➡

Kommandovejen for en bevægelse lyder således. Hjernebarken (motorisk cortex) på den ene side udstikker en ordre om en bevægelse i modsatte side af kroppen. Det gør den via den sensoriske og motoriske data den har adgang til. Dernæst finpudses og korrigeres bevægelsen af lillehjernen i den side hvor bevægelsen foregår. Stimulation - laver elektrisk stimulation i hjernebarken i modsatte side (sensorisk cortex) Det er en hjælp for den motoriske hjernebarks første ordre. Dernæst finpudser lillehjern
