A study reveals that the effectiveness of brain stimulation on motor skills is determined by an individual's learning ability rather than age, highlighting the need for a more personalized approach to ...

Mice that received vagus nerve stimulation after training remembered a learned movement better several days later.

New research provides evidence that stimulating the vagus nerve in mice not only improves long-term learning but also triggers rhythmic changes in brain blood flow. The findings, published in iScience ...

Repetition alone cannot guarantee learning; newly practised motor skills require post-training memory consolidation. Tohoku ...

Neuroradiological images and visual perimetries of CB patients. All patients sustained damage of early visual areas or the optic radiations resulting in homonymous visual field defects as shown by the ...

As we age, our cognitive and motor functions deteriorate, which in turn affects our independence and overall quality of life. Research efforts to ameliorate or even completely abolish this have given ...

This approach could lead to more effective brain stimulation-based interventions, targeting specific mechanisms supporting learning, especially from the view of neurorehabilitation, for which the main ...
