Scientists at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD), have identified changes in how neurons in the brain behave that may explain the neurological basis by which physical exercise can improve ...

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 ...

People who received a mild electrical current to a motor control area of the brain were significantly better able to learn and perform a complex motor task than those in control groups. The findings ...

Comparing the brains of mice that exercised with those that did not, researchers found that specific neurotransmitters switched following sustained exercise, leading to improved learning for ...

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

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 ...

Researchers at UC San Diego Monday released findings that point to a link between regular exercise and the brain’s ability to learn new motor skills. Hui-quan Li and Nick Spitzer of UCSD identified ...

Getting "a good night's sleep" is a phrase we are all familiar with. Sleep and its "quality" are things many of us struggle with. Sleep is a hugely studied research topic. Just typing "sleep" as a ...

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 ...
