There is accumulating evidence from behavioral, neurophysiological, and neuroimaging
studies that the acquisition of motor skills involves both perceptual and motor learning …

Over the last three decades, transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) has gained popularity
as a tool to modulate human somatosensation. However, the effects of different stimulation …

Background and purpose: The model of Bobath clinical practice provides a framework
identifying the unique aspects of the Bobath concept in terms of contemporary neurological …

Motor behaviors are shaped not only by current sensory signals but also by the history of
recent experiences. For instance, repeated movements toward a particular target bias the …

Newly learned motor skills are initially labile and then consolidated to permit retention. The
circuits that enable the consolidation of motor memories remain uncertain. Most work to date …

It has been proposed that the sensorimotor system uses a loss (cost) function to evaluate
potential movements in the presence of random noise. Here we test this idea in the context …

Cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) encompasses several diseases affecting the small
arteries, arterioles, venules, and capillaries of the brain and refers to several pathological …

Gait disturbances are important clinical features of cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD)
that increase the risk of falls and disability. Brain structural alterations and gait disturbances …

Motor learning is associated with plasticity in both motor and somatosensory cortex. It is
known from animal studies that tetanic stimulation to each of these areas individually …

Besides relying heavily on sensory and reinforcement feedback, motor skill learning may
also depend on the level of motivation experienced during training. Yet, how motivation by …
