What are the principles underlying effective neurorehabilitation? The aim of
neurorehabilitation is to exploit interventions based on human and animal studies about …

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 …

Noninvasive brain stimulation techniques have been widely used for studying the
physiology of the CNS, identifying the functional role of specific brain structures and, more …

We reviewed the evidence for the use of cardiovascular exercise to improve memory and
explored potential mechanisms. Data from 29 and 21 studies including acute and long-term …

The predominant role of the primary motor cortex (M1) in motor execution is well
acknowledged. However, additional roles of M1 are getting evident in humans owing to …

The clinical use of mirror visual feedback (MVF) was initially introduced to alleviate phantom
pain, and has since been applied to the improvement of hemiparesis following stroke …

Learning new facts and skills in succession can be frustrating because no sooner has new
knowledge been acquired than its retention is being jeopardized by learning another set of …

Motor learning results from practice but also between practice sessions. After skill
acquisition early consolidation results in less interference with other motor tasks and even …

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) has become a popular method to non‐invasively
stimulate the human brain. The opportunity to modify cortical excitability with repetitive …

Learning and memory functions are crucial in the interaction of an individual with the
environment and involve the interplay of large, distributed brain networks. Recent advances …
