Neural correlates of motor sequence learning and enhanced offline consolidation in 7- to 11-year-old children

This study investigates motor sequence learning and memory consolidation in children and adults using fMRI, finding children show better consolidation despite similar initial learning.

Children exhibit greater persistence of motor learning-related patterns of hippocampal activity into post-task wake epochs

The paper shows children maintain hippocampal activity patterns related to motor learning longer during post-task rest than adults, suggesting enhanced reactivation supports their better memory consolidation.

Impaired online and enhanced offline motor sequence learning in individuals with Parkinson's disease

This study investigates motor sequence learning in Parkinson's disease patients, finding impaired online learning but enhanced micro-offline learning, suggesting hippocampal compensation for striatal dysfunction.

Children exhibit a developmental advantage in the offline processing of a learned motor sequence

This study shows children outperform adults in consolidating motor memories after learning, despite similar initial learning rates.

Sleep does not influence schema-facilitated motor memory consolidation

This study investigates whether sleep after learning a motor schema enhances memory consolidation, but finds no significant effect on performance or correlation with sleep features.
