Motor learning and adaptation are fundamental processes that enable organisms to acquire and refine movements in response to internal and external changes. Research in this area explores how the ...

When we learn a new motor skill—whether mastering a piano passage or refining balance while walking—the brain must reorganize the circuits that control movement. For decades, this process of synaptic ...

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

Recording of signals from single nerve fibers during motor learning shows that signal patterns from sensory receptors in human muscle change substantially as a function of learning state. Credit: ...

A research team consisting of Kazumasa Uehara, Associate Professor in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at Toyohashi University of Technology, and Yuya Fukuda, a pre-doctoral ...

Astrocyte-mediated synapse elimination was significantly increased after motor learning. This learning-associated increase was not observed in astrocyte-specific Megf10 knockout mice. In addition, ...
