Variable errors suppress implicit motor adaptation among older adults

This study shows that older adults exhibit enhanced implicit motor adaptation only with consistent errors, not variable ones, suggesting error consistency is key for age-related adaptation.

Audiomotor prediction errors drive speech adaptation even in the absence of overt movement

This study shows that speech adaptation occurs in response to auditory prediction errors even when no movement is executed, challenging models that rely on corrective motor commands.

Exploring the role of task success in implicit motor adaptation

This study investigates how task success affects implicit motor adaptation through two manipulations: target size and target location, finding that target jumps have a more reliable effect.

Motor learning without movement

This paper shows that motor learning can occur without actual movement by demonstrating implicit adaptation based on planned movements and simulated sensory feedback.

Deleting Mecp2 from the entire cerebellum rather than its neuronal subtypes causes a delay in motor learning in mice

This study shows that deleting Mecp2 from the entire cerebellum, but not from individual cell types, causes a delay in motor learning in mice.
