Motor learning enables people to adapt to changing environments and a changing body, as they learn to move differently in response to, for example, uneven surfaces or a shift in body weight.

Violinists, surgeons and gamers can benefit from physical exercise both before and after practicing their new skills. The same holds true for anyone seeking to improve their fine motor skills.

This study presents valuable computational findings on the neural basis of learning new motor memories and the savings using recurrent neural networks. The evidence supporting the claims of the ...

A new research study examined the results from data generated by citizen scientists using a simple web-based motor test. The big data approach provides researchers with a unique way to explore how ...

Researchers found that the local release of dopamine – a molecule best known for its role in the brain’s reward system – is a key factor in acquiring new motor skills.

In a study published Thursday, researchers use a novel non-invasive deep brain electrical stimulation to enhance motor learning in older adults.

Susanne Morton has spent more than two decades studying motor learning. Morton is an associate professor in the Department of Physical Therapy (PT) at the University of Delaware’s College of Health ...

Spitzer and Li reported their findings in Nature Communications, in a paper titled, “ Exercise enhances motor skill learning by neurotransmitter switching in the adult midbrain.” It’s well ...

Notably, pre- and postnap task performance had different neural correlates; learning during training was associated with increased brain rhythms in movement execution areas during sleep, while ...
