Sleep spindle activity has repeatedly been found to contribute to brain plasticity and
consolidation of both declarative and procedural memories. Here we propose a framework …

Targeted memory reactivation (TMR) during post-learning sleep is known to enhance motor
memory consolidation but the underlying neurophysiological processes remain unclear …

Our repertoire of motor skills is filled with sequential movements that need to be performed
in a specific order. Here, we used functional magnetic resonance imaging to investigate …

Throughout our lives, the actions we produce are often highly familiar and repetitive (eg,
commuting to work). However, layered upon these routine actions are novel, episodic …

Abstract Changes in specific behaviors across the lifespan are frequently reported as an
inverted-U trajectory. That is, young adults exhibit optimal performance, children are …

While it is widely accepted that motor sequence learning (MSL) is supported by a prefrontal-
mediated interaction between hippocampal and striatal networks, it remains unknown …

New information that is compatible with pre-existing knowledge can be learned faster. Such
schema memory effect has been reported in declarative memory and in explicit motor …

Motor sequence learning (MSL) is supported by dynamical interactions between
hippocampal and striatal networks that are thought to be orchestrated by the prefrontal …

There is debate as to whether a time-dependent transformation of the episodic-like memory
network is observed for nonepisodic tasks, including procedural motor memory. To …

Introduction Overlap with prior experience facilitates learning in some cases while hindering
it in others. As facilitation and interference are typically studied in separate lines of research …
