First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 27, 2026 · Updated 29 times
Summary
This study looked at how sleep helps the brain remember and improve motor skills that were learned just by imagining the movements. 51 healthy right-handed adults practiced finger sequences or adaptation tasks mentally, then slept. Researchers used MEG brain scans to see which brain areas were active during sleep-related memory consolidation. The goal is to better design mental practice programs for people recovering from motor disorders.
