Memory consolidation refers to the transformation over time of experience-dependent
internal representations and their neurobiological underpinnings. The process is assumed …

For more than one century, brain processing was mainly thought in a localizationist
framework, in which one given function was underpinned by a discrete, isolated cortical …

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 …

Physical activity has been shown to improve cognitive functioning. Research has largely
focused on cognitive facilitation by cardiovascular exercise in older adults. Only few studies …

Changes in cortical and striatal function underlie the transition from novel actions to refined
motor skills. How discrete, anatomically defined corticostriatal projections function in vivo to …

Abstract The Supplementary Motor Area (SMA) is considered as an anatomically and
functionally heterogeneous region and is implicated in several functions. We propose that …

Work with the discrete sequence production (DSP) task has provided a substantial literature
on discrete sequencing skill over the last decades. The purpose of the current article is to …

It is now accepted that hippocampal-and striatal-dependent memory systems do not act
independently, but rather interact during both memory acquisition and consolidation …

In this systematic review and meta-analysis, we explore how the time scale of practice
affects patterns of brain activity associated with motor skill acquisition. Fifty-eight studies that …

The synaptic pathways in the striatum are central to basal ganglia functions including motor
control, learning and organization, action selection, acquisition of motor skills, cognitive …
