Climbing fiber activity gates the acquisition phase of motor learning but becomes nonessential for memory consolidation or performance once proficiency is achieved.

Students will study the principles and theories of motor control and their practical applications.

Sensory neurons in human muscles provide important information used for the perception and control of movement. Learning to move in a novel context also relies on the brain’s independent control ...

Motor learning does much more than adjust activity levels, it sculpts the circuit's wiring, refining the conversation between the thalamus and cortex at a cellular level.

The process of improving the synchronization between visual perception and motor skills is called visuomotor learning. It ...

Exercise boosts motor skill learning via changes in brain's transmitters Researchers find switch in chemical messaging is key prelude to motor skill acquisition Date: May 4, 2020 Source ...

Brain knows how to stop thinking, start learning A new study suggests that letting go of executive areas of the brain speeds the learning of motor tasks, such as playing an instrument.
