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 ...

When we learn a new motor skill—whether mastering a piano passage or refining balance while walking—the brain must reorganize the circuits that control movement. For decades, this process of synaptic ...

When faced with difficult tasks, sometimes people hit a mental wall and make the decision to "sleep on it." Returning to the task after sleeping, they often perform better. Why? Rhythmic brain ...

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, ...

Do you remember the name of your second-grade teacher or what you ate for lunch today? Those memories may be separated by decades, but both are considered long-term memories. More than half a century ...

Postural control and motor learning are fundamental to human movement, enabling individuals to maintain balance and adapt to dynamic environmental and task ...

Scientists reveal how sleep, especially naps, boosts motor learning after TBI, offering new insights into brain activity and rehabilitation strategies to enhance recovery outcomes. New research ...

Recording of signals from single nerve fibers during motor learning shows that signal patterns from sensory receptors in human muscle change substantially as a function of learning state. Credit: ...

When faced with difficult tasks, sometimes people hit a mental wall and make the decision to "sleep on it." Returning to the task after sleeping, they often perform better. Why? Rhythmic brain ...

Astrocyte-mediated synapse elimination was significantly increased after motor learning. This learning-associated increase was not observed in astrocyte-specific Megf10 knockout mice. In addition, ...
