Motor learning and adaptation are fundamental processes that enable organisms to acquire and refine movements in response to internal and external changes. Research in this area explores how the ...

The Master’s program with a concentration in Motor Learning and Control (MLC) prepares students for careers related to coaching, physical education, human physiology and therapeutic rehabilitation.

Volunteers were asked to try to rotate two balls around each other on their hands under two different learning conditions. Tokyo, Japan – Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University showed that ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

“The paper shows very clearly that the ability to generate new myelin is necessary for adult mice to learn a complex motor task,” said the University of Michigan’s Gabriel Corfas, author of an ...

In a recent study published in Nature Human Behaviour, researchers investigated the causal contribution of specific oscillatory activity patterns within the human striatum to reinforcement motor ...

Motor learning allows us to develop and refine new skills through practice. Humans rely on it throughout life as it does not only allow for acquisition of key skills such as walking or grabbing ...

Older adults may not be thinking about high-intensity interval training (HIIT) when they think about their brain health, but a study published Feb. 17 in NPJ Science of Learning found it can improve ...
