Brain Map Clarifies Neuronal Connectivity Behind Motor Function

January 8, 2025 • by Staff Writer

Scientists have traced connectivity between neurons to identify how the brain communicates with the spinal cord.

Four graphics represent differfent angles on a brain, with areas lit up where specific neurons are connected or active.

A new brain map visualizes the connections between the brain and spinal cord at the center of motor function control.
