Brief description Motor learning allows us to interact with our environment and loss of this ability is catastrophic. The reorganisational capacity of the brain can be used to enhance recovery from brain injury. However, our ability to do so is limited by lack of understanding of the underlying mechanisms. These studies will use novel approaches to investigate how the human brain reorganises during motor skill learning. The outcomes will be important for the development of novel therapeutic approaches.
