Replay is the reactivation of one or more neural patterns that are similar to the activation
patterns experienced during past waking experiences. Replay was first observed in …

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

Recent years have seen significant progress in our understanding of the neural substrates of
motor skill learning. Advances in neuroimaging provide new insight into functional …

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 …

Neuroimaging studies have improved our understanding of which brain structures are
involved in motor learning. Despite this, questions remain regarding the areas that …

Until recently, the electrophysiological mechanisms involved in strengthening new
memories into a more permanent form during sleep have been largely unknown. The sleep …

Following the fundamental recognition of its involvement in sensory-motor coordination and
learning, the cerebellum is now also believed to take part in the processing of cognition and …

Accumulating evidence points to a critical role for the human cerebellum in both motor and
nonmotor behaviors. A core tenet of this new understanding of cerebellar function is the …

For the past two decades, it has generally been accepted that sleep benefits motor memory
consolidation processes. This notion, however, has been challenged by recent studies and …

When learning a new motor sequence, we must execute the correct order of movements
while simultaneously optimizing sensorimotor parameters such as trajectory, timing, velocity …
