Nicotinic signaling is required for motor learning but not rehabilitation after spinal cord injury

This study shows that nicotinic signaling is necessary for motor learning but not for rehabilitation of previously learned movements after spinal cord injury.

Basal forebrain cholinergic neurons selectively drive coordinated motor learning in mice

This study shows that cholinergic neurons in the basal forebrain are essential for acquiring coordinated motor skills in mice, but not for executing learned tasks.

Temporal regulation of motor behavior on a modified forelimb dexterity test in mice

The paper introduces a modified single pellet reach task to assess forelimb dexterity in mice and shows that cortical inactivation affects different motor components at distinct times.
