Brain researchers have identified a bridge between the thalamus and the cortex as the key area that is modified during motor learning functions. They found that such learning does much more than ...

Motor skill learning involves changes in the motor cortex observed at several levels 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9. At the structural level, motor learning has been shown to induce reorganization of dendritic ...
