Non-invasive brain stimulation can restore optimal motor skill acquisition in people with diminished learning capabilities, e.g. due to age, according to a new study. Even though we don't think about ...

Older adults may not be thinking about high-intensity interval training (HIIT) when they think about their brain health, but a study published Feb. 17 in NPJ Science of Learning found it can improve ...

A new study has identified a marker in the brain that controls the ability to reach and grasp, a fundamental fine motor skill that is often impaired in motor or neural injuries such as a stroke. The ...

A new interdisciplinary study by researchers from the Ruth and Bruce Rappaport Faculty of Medicine and the Andrew and Erna Viterbi Faculty of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the Technion ...

Motor skill learning involves the acquisition and refinement of coordinated movements through practice, enhanced by a range of feedback mechanisms that support error ...

It’s unsurprising but unfortunate that as we get older, our capacity to learn new skills diminishes. A new study by researchers at EPFL has found that non-invasive electrical brain stimulation can ...

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 ...

A University of Texas at Arlington study reveals that even children who meet standard developmental milestones may be falling behind in age-appropriate motor skills. Priscila Tamplain, UT Arlington ...

A research team consisting of Kazumasa Uehara, Associate Professor in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at Toyohashi University of Technology, and Yuya Fukuda, a pre-doctoral ...

Muscle memory is a commonly used term for motor skill acquisition and retention. Activities like cycling or swimming are good examples of muscle memory in action, as people can perform these movements ...

Even though we don't think about it, every movement we make in our daily life essentially consists of a sequence of smaller actions in a specific order. The only time we realize this is when we have ...
