The Importance of Planning in Motor Learning [PDF]
The addition of differentiating follow-through motions can facilitate simultaneous learning of multiple motor skills that would otherwise interfere with each other. In this issue of Neuron, Sheahan and colleagues (2016) demonstrate that it is the preparation, not execution, of different follow-through movements that separates motor memories and reduces

The attraction effect in motor planning decisions
In motor lotteries the probability of success is inherent in a person’s ability to make a speeded pointing movement. By contrast, in traditional economic lotteries, the probability of success is explicitly stated.

The Role of Inertial Sensitivity in Motor Planning [PDF]
To achieve a given motor task a single trajectory must be chosen from the infinite set of possibilities consistent with the task. To investigate such motor planning in a natural environment, we examined the kinematics of reaching movements made around a visual obstacle in three-dimensional space.

Aging Effect on Visuomotor Adaptation: Mediated by Cognitive Decline
The question of whether and how aging affects humans’ visuomotor adaptation remains controversial. This study investigates how the effect of aging on visuomotor adaptation is related to age-related cognitive declines.

The aim of this article is to discuss the logic and assumptions behind the concept of neural reuse, to explore its biological advantages and to discuss the implications for the cognition of a brain that reuses existing circuits and resources.

Ants determine their next move at rest: motor planning and causality in complex systems [PDF]
To find useful work to do for their colony, individual eusocial animals have to move, somehow staying attentive to relevant social information. Recent research on individual Temnothorax albipennis ants moving inside their colony’s nest found a power-law ...

Motor planning as an optimization of command representation [PDF]
A fundamental problem in the field of motor neuroscience is to understand how our brain generates appropriate motor commands for precise movements effortlessly. The problem seems difficult since there are infinitely many possible trajectories and our musculo-skeltal system is generally redundant.

Implicit motor learning promotes neural efficiency during laparoscopy. [PDF]
An understanding of differences in expert and novice neural behavior can inform surgical skills training. Outside the surgical domain, electroencephalographic (EEG) coherence analyses have shown that during motor performance, experts display less ...

Several sensorimotor modifications are known to occur with aging, possibly leading to adverse outcomes such as falls. Recently, some of those modifications have been proposed to emerge from motor planning deteriorations.
