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 ...

Older adults may not be thinking about high-intensity interval training (HIIT) when they think about their brain health, but a study published Feb. 17 in NPJ Science of Learning found it can improve ...

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 ...

MINNEAPOLIS / ST. PAUL--Researchers at the University of Minnesota have demonstrated the role of the brain's cerebellum during motor skill learning. By separating the effects of motor learning from ...

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

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 ...

Contrary to popular belief, children aren't better at learning new skills than adults. Indeed, young adults seem to learn ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Motor skill learning involves a complex process of generating novel movement patterns guided by evaluative feedback, such as a reward.

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 ...
