From observations in rodents, it has been suggested that the cellular basis of learning-
dependent changes, detected using structural MRI, may be increased dendritic spine …

Learning a novel motor skill is associated with well characterized structural and functional
plasticity in the rodent motor cortex. Furthermore, neuroimaging studies of visuomotor …

Experience‐dependent structural changes are widely evident in gray matter. Using diffusion
weighted imaging (DWI), the neuroplastic effect of motor training on white matter in the brain …

The mechanisms subserving motor skill acquisition and learning in the intact human brain
are not fully understood. Previous studies in animals have demonstrated a causal …

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has greatly extended the exploration of neuroplasticity in
behaving animals and humans. Imaging studies recently uncovered structural changes that …

Motor skill learning relies on neural plasticity in the motor and limbic systems. However, the
spatial and temporal characteristics of these changes—and their microstructural …

Recent years have seen significant progress in our understanding of the neural substrates of
motor skill learning. Advances in neuroimaging provide new insight into functional …

We do not have a full understanding of the mechanisms underlying plasticity in the human
brain. Mouse models have well controlled environments and genetics, and provide tools to …

White matter (WM) plasticity during adulthood is a recently described phenomenon by which
experience can shape brain structure. It has been observed in humans using diffusion …

White matter (WM) neuroplasticity in the human brain has been tracked non-invasively using
advanced magnetic resonance imaging techniques, with increasing evidence for improved …
