The striatum is very much involved in learning motor sequences particularly in the
consolidation phase, predicting that motor learning is affected in Parkinson's disease (PD) …

Freezing of gait (FOG) is a very disabling symptom affecting up to half of the patients with
Parkinson's disease (PD). Evidence is accumulating that FOG is caused by a complex …

Recent studies emphasize a key role of controlled operations, such as set-shifting and
inhibition, in the occurrence of freezing of gait (FOG) in Parkinson's disease (PD). However …

Understanding how to make learning more efficient and effective is an important goal in
behavioral neuroscience. The notion of “desirable difficulties” asserts that challenges for …

Protective postural responses to external perturbations are hypokinetic in people with
Parkinson's disease (PD), and improving these responses may reduce falls. However, the …

Background and Purpose: Dual-task interventions show positive effects in people with
Parkinson disease (PD), but it remains unclear which factors determine the size of these …

The present work reviews research on the learning and skilled performance of movement
sequences in Parkinson's disease (PD). We focus specifically on the serial reaction time …

Objective: Freezing of gait (FOG) in Parkinson's disease (PD) may involve specific
impairments in acquiring automaticity under working memory load. This study examined …

Background: Motor learning is impaired in Parkinson's disease (PD), with patients
demonstrating deficits in skill acquisition (online learning) and consolidation (offline …

Background: Deficits in implicit motor sequence learning (IMSL) in individuals with
Parkinson disease (PD) compared to age matched healthy controls (HC) are unclear …
