Training-Induced Neural Plasticity in Golf Novices

Training-induced neural plasticity in golf novices.

Previous neuroimaging studies in the field of motor learning have shown that learning a new skill induces specific changes of neural gray and white matter in human brain areas necessary to control the practiced task. Former longitudinal studies investigating motor skill learning have used strict training protocols with little ecological validity rather than physical leisure activities, although...

Longitudinal evaluation of training - induced neural plasticity

Training-induced cognitive and neural plasticity

Research on cognitive interventions and training-induced changes in brain and behavior has been of growing interest in cognitive neuroscience and related disciplines over the last decade (for reviews see Hertzog et al., 2008; Lustig et al., 2009; Shipstead et al., 2010; Morrison and Chein, 2011; for a recent meta-analysis see Melby-Lervåg and Hulme, 2013). The aim of this research topic is to p...

Training-induced brain plasticity in aphasia.

It has long been a matter of debate whether recovery from aphasia after left perisylvian lesions is mediated by the preserved left hemispheric language zones or by the homologous right hemisphere regions. Using PET, we investigated the short-term changes in the cortical network involved in language comprehension during recovery from aphasia. In 12 consecutive measurements of regional cerebral b...

Neural plasticity in response to attention training in anxiety.

BACKGROUND Behavioral studies show that attention training can alter threat bias, influence vulnerability to stress and reduce clinical anxiety symptoms. The aim of this study was to examine which cognitive functions of attention processing are modulated by attention training, and how a priori anxiety interacts with the attention training procedure. Specifically, we expected modulation in the P...
