New connections begin to form between brain cells almost immediately as animals learn a new task, according to a study published this week in Nature. Led by researchers at the University of California ...
Anyone who’s ever learned music probably remembers reaching a point when they just played without “thinking” about the notes. It turns out that a little bit of disconnect goes a long way in learning ...
Distinct cerebellar projections to the forebrain differentially support acquisition and offline consolidation of a motor skill engaging cerebello-striato-cortical circuits, revealing the temporal and ...
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 ...
Mingai Li, received her B.Sc. degree and M.Sc. degree from Daqing Petroleum Institute, Heilongjiang, China, in 1987 and 1990 respectively, and Ph.D. degree from Beijing University of Technology, ...
When the Golden State Warriors’ Steph Curry makes a free throw, his brain draws on motor memory. Now researchers at UC San Francisco have shown how this type of memory is consolidated during sleep, ...
Actions have consequences, and the physical consequence of slipping improves motor learning, according to research recently published in eNeuro. The brain refines movement in response to mistakes, ...
The motor cortex, the part of the brain involved in the planning, control, and execution of voluntary movements, may play a role in translating vocabulary from foreign languages into a person’s native ...
