Neuroimaging Meets Neurophysiology: Are There Cortical Somatotopic Motor Maps Outside of the Human Precentral Gyrus?

New Discoveries in Cortical Motor Maps Background Introduction Humans and other primates are capable of performing a wide range of complex body movements, the initiation and control of which rely on multiple cortical and subcortical structures. Among these, the primary motor cortex (M1), located in the precentral gyrus, is the core region for execu...

From Bedside to Bench: New Insights in Epilepsy-Associated Tumors Based on Recent Classification Updates and Animal Models on Brain Tumor Networks

Latest Research on Epilepsy-Associated Tumors: Classification and Animal Models Background Epilepsy is a common neurological disorder, and some patients are accompanied by brain tumors, particularly low-grade neuroepithelial tumors (LGNTs). These tumors typically grow slowly but are highly associated with drug-resistant epilepsy. Although research ...
