Tokyo's voluntary standstill may have stopped COVID-19 in its tracks
Why did Japan largely contain COVID-19 despite famously jam-packed Tokyo and despite the country's proximity to China? With no penalties and only requests for cooperation, Japan's state of emergency somehow averted the large-scale ...

How do basal ganglia neurons convey information for the control of voluntary movements?
It is common that neurons transmit information to another group of neurons by increasing or decreasing their activity, i.e. 'firing rate changes.' In addition to firing rate changes, synchronized activity of a certain group ...

Findings shed light on the ancient origins of speed control during movement
Movement in animals is complex, especially in human beings. A variety of neurons coordinate the activity and inactivity of our muscles, and without that coordination we'd fall flat on our face when we went for a walk.
