Comparing the brains of mice that exercised with those that did not, researchers found that specific neurotransmitters switched following sustained exercise, leading to improved learning for ...

Researchers have discovered that the dorsal premotor cortex serves a 'meta-learning' function, overseeing and regulating physical movements. Once believed to be limited to movement planning, this ...

Researchers from the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus have discovered a new way the brain processes and communicates information that could lead to improved learning in those suffering ...

From writing and typing to playing a musical instrument or mastering a sport, learning movement-based tasks is one of the brain’s most complex challenges. This collaborative new study reveals how the ...

Spinal cord's neural pathways responsible for motor learning independent of the brain have been revealed by a recent study. Two inhibitory neuronal classes govern acquisition and recall of spinal ...

In a recent study published in the journal NPJ Science of Learning, researchers investigated the impacts of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) on the subsequent motor skill acquisition efficiency ...

Aya Takeoka at the RIKEN Center for Brain Science (CBS) in Japan and colleagues have discovered the neural circuitry in the spinal cord that allows brain-independent motor learning. Published in ...
