Visual learning shapes the processing of complex movement stimuli in the human brain.

2 Nov 2009 Recognition of actions and complex movements is fundamental for social interactions and action understanding. While the relationship between motor expertise and visual recognition of body movements has received a vast amount of interest, the role of ... Read more...

Decreased firing of striatal neurons related to licking during acquisition and overtraining of a licking task.

2 Nov 2009 Neurons that fire in relation to licking, in the ventral part of the dorsolateral striatum (DLS), were studied during acquisition and performance of a licking task in rats for 14 sessions (2 h/d). Task learning was indicated by fewer errors of ... Read more...

Defining and describing medical learning communities: results of a national survey.

30 Oct 2009 PURPOSE: To investigate what is meant by learning community in medical education and to identify the most important features of current medical education learning communities. METHOD: After a literature review, the authors surveyed academic deans of ... Read more...
