Neuroplasticity Subserving Motor Skill Learning
Open accessAbstract
Recent years have seen significant progress in our understanding of the neural substrates of motor skill learning. Advances in neuroimaging provide new insight into functional reorganization associated with the acquisition, consolidation, and retention of motor skills. Plastic changes involving structural reorganization in gray and white matter architecture that occur over shorter time periods than previously thought have been documented as well. Data from experimental animals provided crucial information on plausible cellular and molecular substrates contributing to brain reorganization underlying skill acquisition in humans. Here, we review findings demonstrating functional and structural plasticity across different spatial and temporal scales that mediate motor skill learning while identifying converging areas of interest and possible avenues for future research.

Synaptic plasticity is a key mechanism in learning and memory.
“While synaptic plasticity is a well-known key mechanism in learning and memory (Dayan and Cohen, 2011;Kandel, 2001), unequivocal studies suggest that dysfunction of synaptic plasticity with neuronal atrophy and cell death contribute to the pathophysiology of depression and therapeutic response could be associated with overcoming this deficit (Duman and Aghajanian, 2012;Krystal et al., 2013;Shakesb”
From Serotonin and neuroplasticity – Links between molecular, functional and structural pathophysiology in depression (2017) · cites this paper as Dayan and Cohen, 2011
The section “Structural plasticity associated with slow learning” (page unavailable) says synaptic plasticity may contribute to motor memory formation and links spine remodeling with improvements after learning. That supports a role in motor learning and memory, but the paper’s qualified statement does not establish synaptic plasticity as a key mechanism for learning and memory generally. (LLM, conf=0.83)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredStructural connections within brain regions involve gray and white matter and localized projections and pathways that develop through practice and use.
“Structural connections within brain regions concern gray and white matter and more localized projections and pathways that develop through practice and use (Dayan & Cohen, 2011;Draganski & May, 2008).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
