New Publication on Neuroimage (2025): A study conducted at the Laboratory of Applied Neuroscience and Technologies of the Santa Lucia Foundation IRCCS shows that the brain continues to recognize movements even when the body is still. The study, led by Dr. Cristina Perciballi, a member of the team headed by Prof. Viviana Betti, director of the laboratory, found that motor areas remain active even at rest, processing movement patterns that are already known or previously observed. This discovery opens new perspectives for neurological rehabilitation, as it reveals that the brain retains traces of motor activity even in the absence of actual movement. Understanding these mechanisms may help develop increasingly targeted recovery strategies for individuals with motor or neurological impairments.
