Modulation of muscle responses evoked by transcranial magnetic stimulation during the acquisition of new fine motor skills
Alvaro Pascual-Leone,D. Nguyet,Leonardo G. Cohen,J. P. Brasil-Neto,A. Cammarota,Mark Hallett +5 more
TL;DR: Trans transcranial magnetic stimulation is used to study the role of plastic changes of the human motor system in the acquisition of new fine motor skills and the effect of increased hand use without specific skill learning in subjects who played the piano at will for 2 h each day but who were not taught the five-finger exercise.

Neuropsychological Function in Schizophrenia: Selective Impairment in Memory and Learning
Andrew J. Saykin,Ruben C. Gur,Raquel E. Gur,P. David Mozley,Lyn Harper Mozley,Susan M. Resnick,D. Brian Kester,Paul Stafiniak +7 more
TL;DR: Findings lend support to the hypothesized importance of the temporal-hippocampal region in understanding the pathophysiology of schizophrenia and the selectivity and relative severity compared with other behavioral functions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Motor sequence learning: a study with positron emission tomography
TL;DR: The cerebellum is involved in the process by which motor tasks become automatic, whereas the putamen is equally activated by sequence learning and retrieval, and may play a similar role in both.

Handedness in musicians
TL;DR: In this article, the authors made an inquiry by means of a questionnaire which included a "handedness inventory" into the prevalence of left-handedness among musicians, and the difficulties, if any, which lefthanders experienced in acquiring executant skills.

Cerebral Dominance and Its Relation To Psychological Function
TL;DR: It is true that a few cases of this disease are seen from time to time in Australia; but the patients have been immigrants infected in their country of Orkney in the Mediterranean area.
