Primary Motor Cortex Involvement in Initial Learning during Visuomotor Adaptation
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Riek, Stephan; Hinder, Mark R.; Carson, Richard G. – Neuropsychologia, 2012
Human motor behaviour is continually modified on the basis of errors between desired and actual movement outcomes. It is emerging that the role played by the primary motor cortex (M1) in this process is contingent upon a variety of factors, including the nature of the task being performed, and the stage of learning. Here we used repetitive TMS to…

The Vacuous Vision: The TV Medium.
Emery, Merrelyn; Emery, Fred – Journal of the University Film Association, 1980
Discusses a study of the neurophysiological effects of television viewing and their impact on learning. Study of brain waves while viewing indicates that the brain switches off from any analytical processing of the messages. (JMF)

Reversal of Motor Learning in the Vestibulo-Ocular Reflex in the Absence of Visual Input
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Cohen, Marlene R.; Meissner, Geoffrey W.; Schafer, Robert J.; Raymond, Jennifer L. – Learning & Memory, 2004
Motor learning in the vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) and eyeblink conditioning use similar neural circuitry, and they may use similar cellular plasticity mechanisms. Classically conditioned eyeblink responses undergo extinction after prolonged exposure to the conditioned stimulus in the absence of the unconditioned stimulus. We investigated the…
