Researchers report a chef's skills and expertise are embodied in the cerebellum, an area of the brain associated with motor function and cognition.
Neurons in the anterior intraparietal cortex learn to modulate their activity to compensate for errors in brain-machine interface tasks. Findings suggest the extent to which a person can learn a new skill is constrained by preexisting neural networks.
Learning a new skill may involve the generation of new neural activity patterns.
