This study investigates how spatial and temporal motor adaptations interact during split-belt walking, finding that spatial adaptation is influenced by temporal changes but not vice versa.

The paper shows that stiffness, a mechanical property, is used to coordinate force and displacement during object manipulation by modulating muscle activity.

This study shows the basal ganglia contribute to visuomotor adaptation in Parkinson's patients, influenced by dopamine, deep brain stimulation, and reinforcement.

This study identifies a striatal interneuron circuit where parvalbumin-positive fast-spiking interneurons represent target distance and regulate striatal projection neuron activity to modulate movement velocity during pursuit behavior.

This study finds that schizophrenia patients show reduced motor generalization linked to positive symptoms and altered sense of agency.

This study shows that split-belt treadmill walking adaptation involves adjusting step length asymmetry to extract mechanical work from the treadmill, reducing metabolic cost and improving walking economy.

This study shows that cerebellar output neurons exhibit preparatory activity similar to motor neocortex, and silencing them suppresses neocortical preparatory signals.
