Perspectives in Motor Learning and Control: The Role of Neuroscience

Dear Colleagues,

Advances in Neuroscience represent a monumental achievement in modern science. Integrating these developments with the field of Motor Learning and Control opens new avenues for understanding and explaining complex phenomena, fostering innovation in these domains of knowledge.

The profound impact of sports and exercise extends beyond physical health, influencing the intricate mechanisms of the brain. This untapped potential is increasingly recognized as what could be termed the last trained muscle, underscoring the remarkable interplay between the mind and body.

This Topic aims to explore the intersection of Motor Control and Neuroscience.

Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:

1. Sport cognition processing.
2. Physical activity and cognition.
3. Tactical decision making.
4. Domain-general and domain-specific cognition in sports.
5. Cognitive differences between experts and novices in sport.
6. Cognition and brain regions.
7. Training-induced neuroplasticity.
8. Motor inhibitory responses.
9. EEG spectral power and lateralization.
10. Motor-related cortical potentials.
11. Sensory-evoked potentials.
12. Event-related potentials.
13. Neurocognitive development.

We invite contributions that shed light on these topics, offering novel insights and advancing our understanding of the intricate relationship between motor control and neural processes.
