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 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 ...

Motor learning allows us to develop and refine new skills through practice. Humans rely on it throughout life as it does not only allow for acquisition of key skills such as walking or grabbing ...

A recent review published in Pediatric Physical Therapy has highlighted deficiencies in the scientific support and ...

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 ...

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 ...

In a recent study published in Nature Human Behaviour, researchers investigated the causal contribution of specific oscillatory activity patterns within the human striatum to reinforcement motor ...

The motor cortex, the part of the brain involved in the planning, control, and execution of voluntary movements, may play a role in translating vocabulary from foreign languages into a person’s native ...

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 ...

Tsukuba, Japan—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 ...
