Neurogenetic disorders, such as neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), are diseases caused by a defect in one or more genes, which can sometimes result in cognitive and motor impairments. Better ...

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 ...

Researchers have discovered that the dorsal premotor cortex serves a 'meta-learning' function, overseeing and regulating physical movements. Once believed to be limited to movement planning, this ...

Functional MRI data shows reduced activation in key brain regions post-nap in TBI patients, indicating enhanced motor learning, according to lead author Anthony H. Lequerica, PhD, senior research ...

From writing an article and typing to playing a violin or being a tennis star, the learning of tasks involving movement is one of the brain’s most complex challenges. How does one acquire new motor ...

New research published by scientists at Kessler Foundation provides critical insights into the role of sleep in motor learning for individuals recovering from traumatic brain injury (TBI). The study ...

A research team at The University of Osaka has identified a crucial brain region involved in motor learning during reaching movements. The parvocellular division of the red nucleus, a small but ...

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 ...

Tsukuba, Japan—Superior motor learning ability in athletes is not an innate talent but a skill that can be developed throughout life. Over the past decade, motor control scientists have observed ...
