Summary

This study looked at how different layers of the brain's motor cortex help us learn and remember new movement skills. Forty healthy, right-handed adults practiced typing sequences and had their brains scanned with MRI. The goal was to see which brain layers are most active during skill consolidation. This is a basic science study, not a treatment trial.
