Neuroscientists pinpoint where (and how) brain circuits are reshaped as we learn new movements: « Discovery of physical modifications across brain regions holds important clues for possible new therapies for brain disorders. »

Brain researchers have identified a bridge between the thalamus and the cortex as the key area that is modified during motor learning functions. They found that such learning does much more than adjust activity levels, it sculpts the circuit’s wiring, refining the conversation between brain regions.
