This study investigates how learning a novel coordination pattern affects motor cortex excitability, finding comparable behavioral improvements across bimanual and unimanual training without consistent neurophysiological correlates.

This study uses ultrasound to modulate the human hippocampus and shows it affects motor skill learning by altering the balance between practice and rest.

This study uses dual-coil paired-pulse TMS to show a spatially specific facilitatory connection between the supplementary motor complex and primary motor cortex in humans.

This study investigates how bimanual coordination is learned and generalized through unimanual practice, showing that visual feedback is critical for transferring skills to bimanual tasks.

This study tests the effect of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) at different times relative to motor training on skill learning, finding no significant difference in performance gains compared to a control group.
