Over more than a century of research has established the fact that sleep benefits the
retention of memory. In this review we aim to comprehensively cover the field of “sleep and …

The ever-increasing number of computing devices around us results in more and more
systems competing for our attention, making cognitive workload a crucial factor for the user …

Stroke is one of the leading causes for disability worldwide. Motor function deficits due to
stroke affect the patients' mobility, their limitation in daily life activities, their participation in …

Learn how the brain processes mathematical concepts and why some students develop
math anxiety! David A. Sousa discusses the cognitive mechanisms for learning mathematics …

Memory consolidation refers to the transformation over time of experience-dependent
internal representations and their neurobiological underpinnings. The process is assumed …

Cerebellar research has focused principally on adult motor function. However, the
cerebellum also maintains abundant connections with nonmotor brain regions throughout …

Motor skills can take weeks to months to acquire and can diminish over time in the absence
of continued practice. Thus, strategies that enhance skill acquisition or retention are of great …

Adaptation to a novel visuomotor transformation has revealed important principles regarding
learning and memory. Computational and behavioral studies have suggested that …

Motor skills are required for activities of daily living. Transcranial direct current stimulation
(tDCS) applied in association with motor skill learning has been investigated as a tool for …

The role of the cerebellum in motor control and learning has been largely inferred from the
effects of cerebellar damage. Recent work shows that cerebellar damage produces greater …
