Motor learning encompasses the processes by which individuals acquire, refine and retain skilled movements, drawing on neural plasticity within motor cortex, basal ganglia and cerebellum. Effective ...

Human motor system executes the motor command from high-order regions, rigorously controls the musculoskeletal system and learns to adapt to novel stimuli ...

When we learn a new motor skill—whether mastering a piano passage or refining balance while walking—the brain must reorganize the circuits that control movement. For decades, this process of synaptic ...

Non-invasive brain stimulation can restore optimal motor skill acquisition in people with diminished learning capabilities, e.g. due to age, according to a new study. Even though we don't think about ...

A research team at the University of Osaka has identified a crucial brain region involved in motor learning during reaching movements. The parvocellular division of the red nucleus, a small but ...

Research on memory, stress and motor learning suggests many police training programs reward short-term performance while ...

Astrocyte-mediated synapse elimination was significantly increased after motor learning. This learning-associated increase was not observed in astrocyte-specific Megf10 knockout mice. In addition, ...
