The region is a unique area of the human brain and may not be present in other animals


In a world-first, an Australian neuroscientist has discovered a new region of the brain which may help people play piano and exercise more precise finger movements.

The new discovery has set the research community on a new goal of finding out other unique abilities associated with the region.

Australian scientists have discovered a new part of the human brain previously unknown.

Neuroscientist George Paxinos and his team have uncovered the pea-sized region close to where the brain connects with the spinal cord.

Professor Paxinos, who has christened it Endorestiform Nucleus, says the newly discovered part had been waiting for him to find it.
