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 ...

Human motor control has always been efficient at executing complex movements naturally, efficiently, and without much thought involved. This is because of the existence of motor synergy in the central ...

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 ...

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, ...

Researchers found that the local release of dopamine – a molecule best known for its role in the brain’s reward system – is a key factor in acquiring new motor skills. From writing an article and ...

In a recent study published in the journal NPJ Science of Learning, researchers investigated the impacts of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) on the subsequent motor skill acquisition efficiency ...

A new study from the University of Eastern Finland reveals that physically active teens and those who engage meaningfully with digital media show healthier brain function and stronger self-control ...
