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 ...
When we learn a new motor skill—whether mastering a piano passage or refining balance while walking—the brain must reorganize ...
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 ...
In a recent study published in Nature Neuroscience, a group of researchers explored how the cerebellum directly affects dopamine release in the substantia nigra compacta (SNc). While the cerebellum's ...
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, ...
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, ...
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 ...
When we train the reaching for and grasping of objects, we also train our brain. In other words, this action brings about changes in the connections of a certain neuronal population in the red nucleus ...
