Baby steps: investigating the development of perceptual-motor couplings in infancy [PDF]
, 2014 There are cells in our motor cortex that fire both when we perform and when we observe similar actions. It has been suggested that these perceptual-motor couplings in the brain develop through associative learning during correlated sensorimotor ...

Exercise enhances motor skill learning by neurotransmitter switching in the adult midbrain. [PDF]
, 2020 Physical exercise promotes motor skill learning in normal individuals and those with neurological disorders but its mechanism of action is unclear. We find that one week of voluntary wheel running enhances the acquisition of motor skills in normal adult ...

Eye movements may cause motor contagion effects [PDF]
, 2016 When a person executes a movement, the movement is more errorful while observing another person’s actions that are incongruent rather than congruent with the executed action. This effect is known as “motor contagion”.
