Motor learning and skill acquisition constitute fundamental processes by which individuals enhance their movement capabilities through practice, experience and neural adaptation. This field ...

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 ...

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 ...

It’s unsurprising but unfortunate that as we get older, our capacity to learn new skills diminishes. A new study by researchers at EPFL has found that non-invasive electrical brain stimulation can ...

Volunteers were asked to try to rotate two balls around each other on their hands under two different learning conditions. Tokyo, Japan – Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University showed that ...

Astrocytes use the MEGF10 receptor to prune synapses in the striatum, a process essential for dopamine-driven motor learning.

Contrary to popular belief, children aren't better at learning new skills than adults. Indeed, young adults seem to learn faster than kids—but also tend to forget more quickly. Here, better sleep ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Honestly? I believe it. I see it in my own kids. The screen temptation is real—for them and for us. Reading has gone down. Outdoor ...

Motor learning skills let us move through the world: we use them to teach ourselves how to walk, how to pick up a drink, how to run. But age or sickness can weaken our ability to learn motor tasks.

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 ...
