Motor learning encompasses a wide range of phenomena, ranging from relatively low-level
mechanisms for maintaining calibration of our movements, to making high-level cognitive …

Motor control is the study of how organisms make accurate goal-directed movements. Here
we consider two problems that the motor system must solve in order to achieve such control …

Neurorehabilitation is based on the assumption that motor learning contributes to motor
recovery after injury. However, little is known about how learning itself is affected by brain …

The challenge-point framework as a model for thinking about motor learning was first
proposed in 2004. Although it has been well-cited, surprisingly this framework has not made …

Postural control is a natural behavior that requires the spatial and temporal coordination of
multiple muscles. Complex muscle activation patterns characterizing postural responses …

Conventional neurorehabilitation appears to have little impact on impairment over and
above that of spontaneous biological recovery. Robotic neurorehabilitation has the potential …

Recent research suggests that the nervous system controls muscles by activating flexible
combinations of muscle synergies to produce a wide repertoire of movements. Muscle …

Adaptation to visuomotor rotation is a particular form of motor learning distinct from force-
field adaptation, sequence learning, and skill learning. Nevertheless, study of adaptation to …

There are many causes for variation in the responses of the motor apparatus to neural
commands. Fast-timescale disturbances occur when muscles fatigue. Slow-timescale …

Background and Objective. Following stroke, subjects retain the ability to adapt interlimb
symmetry on the split-belt treadmill. Critical to advancing our understanding of locomotor …
