Does anodal tDCS over M1 really enhance motor sequence learning? A non-replication of earlier findings in a double-blind, pre-registered large-sample study in humans Open
Background Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is one of the most widely used noninvasive neuromodulation methods. Despite its popularity, some recent studies highlighted issues about the reproducibility of earlier reported tDCS…

Neural correlates of motor sequence learning and enhanced offline consolidation in 7- to 11-year-old children Open
Intro Many daily activities involve series of interrelated movements and thus the capacity to learn new motor sequences is vital for everyday functioning. Although learning new skills is especially prominent throughout childhood, remarkabl…

The human medial temporal lobe represents memory items in their ordinal position in both declarative and motor memory domains Open
Memory systems in humans are less segregated than initially thought as learning tasks from different memory domains (e.g., declarative versus procedural) can recruit similar brain areas. However, it remains unclear whether the functional r…

Unraveling the neurophysiological correlates of phase-specific enhancement of motor memory consolidation via slow-wave closed-loop targeted memory reactivation Open
Memory consolidation can be enhanced during sleep using targeted memory reactivation (TMR) and closed-loop (CL) acoustic stimulation on the up-phase of slow oscillations (SOs). Here, we test whether applying TMR at specific phases of the S…

The effect of a post-learning nap on motor memory consolidation in people with Parkinson’s disease: a randomised controlled trial Open
Study Objectives Motor memory consolidation is a process by which newly acquired skills become stable over time in the absence of practice. Sleep facilitates consolidation, yet it remains unknown whether sleep-dependent consolidation is in…

Impaired online and enhanced offline motor sequence learning in individuals with Parkinson’s disease Open
Whereas memory consolidation research has traditionally focused on longer temporal windows (i.e., hours to days) following an initial learning episode, recent research has also examined the functional significance of the shorter rest epoch…
