Central mechanisms of motor skill learning

Recent studies have shown that frontoparietal cortices and interconnecting regions in the basal ganglia and the cerebellum are related to motor skill learning. We propose that motor skill learning occurs independently and in different coordinates in two sets of loop circuits: cortex–basal ganglia an...

Description
Summary:Recent studies have shown that frontoparietal cortices and interconnecting regions in the basal ganglia and the cerebellum are related to motor skill learning. We propose that motor skill learning occurs independently and in different coordinates in two sets of loop circuits: cortex–basal ganglia and cortex–cerebellum. This architecture accounts for the seemingly diverse features of motor learning. Complex and dynamic interactions between basal ganglia-cortex and cerebellum-cortex loop circuits can account for the diverse features of motor learning.
