The neural network in the primary motor cortex transitions from a "beginner" state (light blue, left) to an "expert" configuration (dark blue, right). Dopamine release from the ventral tegmental area ...

Scientists reveal how sleep, especially naps, boosts motor learning after TBI, offering new insights into brain activity and rehabilitation strategies to enhance recovery outcomes. New research ...

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 ...

In motor learning, movements become faster and more consistent with repeated practice. The brain’s primary motor cortex (M1) is central to this process. In particular, synapses connecting to the ...

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 ...
