One of the enduring mysteries of brain function concerns the process of cognitive control.
How does complex and seemingly wilful behaviour emerge from interactions between …

▪ Abstract It has been clear for almost two decades that cortical representations in adult
animals are not fixed entities, but rather, are dynamic and are continuously modified by …

▪ Abstract Perceptual learning involves relatively long-lasting changes to an organism's
perceptual system that improve its ability to respond to its environment. Four mechanisms of …

This study was undertaken to document plastic changes in the functional topography of
primary motor cortex (Ml) that are generated in motor skill learning in the normal, intact …

▪ Abstract The posterior parietal cortex (PPC), historically believed to be a sensory structure,
is now viewed as an area important for sensory-motor integration. Among its functions is the …

Background and Purpose—Injury-induced cortical reorganization is a widely recognized
phenomenon. In contrast, there is almost no information on treatment-induced plastic …

A new family of rehabilitation techniques, termed Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy or
CI Therapy, has been developed that controlled experiments have shown is effective in …

The excitability of the human motor cortex during the development of implicit and declarative
knowledge of a motor task was examined. During a serial reaction time test, subjects …

The visual system separates processing of an object's form and color (“what”) from its spatial
location (“where”). In order to direct action to objects, the identity and location of those …

Perceptual learning is a lifelong process. We begin by encoding information about the basic
structure of the natural world and continue to assimilate information about specific patterns …
