Journal of Neurophysiology

This is what performance science researchers refer to as sensory motor integration, the process of combining sensory input with motor output to produce coordinated movement.

Studies indexed by the National Institute of Health and explored in journals like the Journal of Neurophysiology show that when plantar sensory feedback is enhanced, balance improves, coordination sharpens, and movement becomes more efficient.

When that feedback is reduced, the opposite happens.

Greater variability, slower corrections, less precise control.

I am so ready for this.

A 2024 review in Neuropsychologia looked deeply into this, building on a foundational 2005 fMRI study published in the Journal of Neurophysiology.

Okay, take us inside the love struck brain.

What does a real intense crush actually look like when you put it in an fMRI scanner?
