Researchers have identified a network of connections linking the brainstem and spinal cord that helps control hand and arm movements, revealing an unexpected layer of the nervous system enabling ...

Researchers identify a conserved brainstem and spinal cord pathway (C3-C4) that controls voluntary hand movements in both mice and humans.

Deep within the brainstem is a structure no bigger than a grain of rice, the locus coeruleus. The LC is often referred to as the “blue spot” because of a distinct blue pigment produced from its inner ...
