Greetings All,

Quote of the Day

From neurophysiologist Mark Hallett MD, who developed and has maintained the Human Motor Control Section (HMCS) at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland:  

"Immediately after learning, the motor memory is fragile.  In particular, it is vulnerable to disruption by learning of something similar.  However, if there is no disruption, with the passage of time, the memory becomes more robust.  It is this process, of becoming more and more robust with time, that is designated consolidation."

In:  Hallett M (2006).  The role of the motor cortex in motor learning.  In Motor Control and Learning (Latash ML & Lestienne F, Eds.), p. 92.  New York: Springer.
