Researchers from the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine have revealed that practice makes for more efficient generation of neuronal activity in the primary motor cortex. The latter is the area of the brain that plans and executes movement. Their findings, published online today in iNature Neuroscience/i, showed that practice leads to decreased metabolic activity for internally generated movements, but not for visually guided motor tasks, and suggest ...Monday, 5 August 2013
Pitt Researchers Say Efficiency of the Brain's Motor Cortex Increased by Practice
Researchers from the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine have revealed that practice makes for more efficient generation of neuronal activity in the primary motor cortex. The latter is the area of the brain that plans and executes movement. Their findings, published online today in iNature Neuroscience/i, showed that practice leads to decreased metabolic activity for internally generated movements, but not for visually guided motor tasks, and suggest ...
