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 ...

By using a new data-driven approach to analyse full- body movement during motor learning in the real world, the researchers both demonstrated the involvement of the whole body in the learning ...

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.

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 ...

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

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 ...

Does visual feedback of our tongues help in speech motor learning? Real-time visual feedback of the tongue, provided by ultrasound, can make a difference in speech learning outcomes ...
