Challenging the traditional views on how the brain processes movement and sensation

Our body movements profoundly impact how our brain processes sensory information. Historically, it was believed that the brain's primary motor cortex played a key role in modulating sensory experiences during movement. However, a new study has challenged this view. By selectively inhibiting different neural pathways in the mouse brain, they discovered that regions beyond the primary motor cortex significantly influence the primary sensory cortex during movement.
