Bidirectional grey matter changes after complex motor skill learning

Bidirectional grey matter changes after complex motor skill learning

Long-term motor skill learning has been consistently shown to result in functional as well as structural changes in the adult human brain. However, the effect of short learning periods on brain structure is not well understood. In the present study, subjects performed a sequential pinch force task (...
