Motor Cortex Is Required for Learning but Not for Executing a Motor Skill [PDF]
Neuron, 2015 Motor cortex is widely believed to underlie the acquisition and execution of motor skills, but its contributions to these processes are not fully understood. One reason is that studies on motor skills often conflate motor cortex's established role in dexterous control with roles in learning and producing task-specific motor sequences.

Motor execution affects action prediction [PDF]
Brain and Cognition, 2011 Previous studies provided evidence of the claim that the prediction of occluded action involves real-time simulation. We report two experiments that aimed to study how real-time simulation is affected by simultaneous action execution under conditions of full, partial or no overlap between observed and executed actions.

Motor experience with a sport-specific implement affects motor imagery [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 The present study tested whether sport-specific implements facilitate motor imagery, whereas nonspecific implements disrupt motor imagery. We asked a group of basketball players (experts) and a group of healthy controls (novices) to physically perform ...

When Corticospinal Inhibition Favors an Efficient Motor Response
Biology, 2023 Many daily activities involve responding to the actions of other people. However, the functional relationship between the motor preparation and execution phases still needs to be clarified. With the combination of different and complementary experimental

Impact of Auditory Context on Executed Motor Actions [PDF]
Frontiers in Integrative Neuroscience, 2016 The auditory and motor systems are strongly coupled, as is evident in the specifically tight motor synchronization that occurs in response to regularly occurring auditory cues compared with cues of other modalities. Timing of rhythmic action is known to rely on multiple neural centers including the cerebellum and the basal-ganglia which have access to ...

Decoding EEG Rhythms During Action Observation, Motor Imagery, and Execution for Standing and Sitting [PDF]
, 2020 Event-related desynchronization and synchronization (ERD/S) and movement-related cortical potential (MRCP) play an important role in brain-computer interfaces (BCI) for lower limb rehabilitation, particularly in standing and sitting.
