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 ...

The findings, published in the peer-reviewed journal eNeuro, provide insight into the neural mechanisms of motor skill learning that can help lead to more effective brain-stimulation therapies for ...

Actions have consequences, and the physical consequence of slipping improves motor learning, according to research recently published in eNeuro.

Researchers from the University of Tsukuba have developed a mathematical model of motor learning that reflects the motor learning process in the human brain. Their findings suggest that motor ...

Violinists, surgeons and gamers can benefit from physical exercise both before and after practicing their new skills. The same holds true for anyone seeking to improve their fine motor skills.

High-intensity interval training (HIIT) enhances early offline motor skill consolidation in older adults but may impair immediate motor skill acquisition, challenging previous assumptions about ...

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 ...

By using a new data-driven approach to analyse full- body movement during motor learning in the real world, the researchers both demonstrated the involvement of the whole body in the learning ...

Climbing fiber activity gates the acquisition phase of motor learning but becomes nonessential for memory consolidation or performance once proficiency is achieved.
