Abstract

Shifting to automatic

Highlights

  • Dynamic reorganization of striatal circuits during the acquisition and consolidation of a skill. by Henry H

  • Habit formation represents only the last stage of the complex process of motor skill learning: the acquisition of motor skills is characterized by an initial phase of rapid improvement of the performance which is followed by a later phase during which memory becomes more automatic as performance reaches an asymptotic level (Shiffrin and Schneider, 1977)

  • In vivo recordings showed a functional dissociation between striatal regions: dorsomedial region of the striatum (DMS) neurons showed robust rate modulation during early training phase, while DLS showed increased rate modulation during the extended training period

Summary

Introduction

Dynamic reorganization of striatal circuits during the acquisition and consolidation of a skill. by Henry H. Habit formation represents only the last stage of the complex process of motor skill learning: the acquisition of motor skills is characterized by an initial phase of rapid improvement of the performance which is followed by a later phase during which memory becomes more automatic as performance reaches an asymptotic level (Shiffrin and Schneider, 1977). This two-stage process of motor skill acquisition suggests that the brain networks underlying the expression of motor performance gradually reorganize over time.
