Scientists at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD), have identified changes in how neurons in the brain behave that may explain the neurological basis by which physical exercise can improve ...

Non-invasive brain stimulation can restore optimal motor skill acquisition in people with diminished learning capabilities, e.g. due to age, according to a new study. Even though we don't think about ...

Older adults may not be thinking about high-intensity interval training (HIIT) when they think about their brain health, but a study published Feb. 17 in NPJ Science of Learning found it can improve ...

When we learn a new motor skill, we experience rapid improvement in motor performance during the initial training period and slowly improve with further training across subsequent days. Researchers at ...

A new study shows that people often struggle to switch between familiar motor skills and newly learned movement patterns, leading to predictable errors.

Comparing the brains of mice that exercised with those that did not, researchers found that specific neurotransmitters switched following sustained exercise, leading to improved learning for ...

Researchers at UC San Diego Monday released findings that point to a link between regular exercise and the brain’s ability to learn new motor skills. Hui-quan Li and Nick Spitzer of UCSD identified ...

Learning mathematics while engaging the full body through physical movement can improve math performance for first graders, according to a new study from Denmark. The February 2017 study, ...

Even though we don’t think about it, every movement we make in our daily life essentially consists of a sequence of smaller actions in a specific order. The only time we realize this is when we have ...
