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 ability to imitate gestures is key to learning from others and it helps foster social interactions. Children with autism, ...

Researchers have developed a mathematical model of motor learning that reflects the motor learning process in the human brain. Their findings suggest that motor exploration -- that is, increased ...

For every motor skill you've ever learned, whether it's walking or watchmaking, there is a small ensemble of neurons in your brain that makes that movement happen. Our brains trigger these ...

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 ...

60 participants in the study made arm movements while sitting in an exoskeleton robot. Target points were displayed on the screen in front of them, which they had to reach with their right hand. The ...

Even seemingly simple movements are very complex to perform, and the way we learn how to perform new movements remains unclear. Researchers from Japan have recently proposed a new model of motor ...

Smoking pot may impair your coordination and other motor skills, even when you're not high, a new review of studies finds. In the review, researchers found that people who used marijuana had ...

Zapping your brain smart sounds either like a “don’t try at home” science experiment or something that Generation Alpha will regularly do before their trigonometry final. But for years, scientists ...
