Decision Uncertainty as a Contextual Cue for Motor Memory Background In a penalty shootout during a soccer match, players may face two distinctly different decision-making scenarios. For example, a player may decisively kick the ball to the right corner after seeing the goalkeeper move to the other side, or he may kick the same way without being ce...

The Intensity-Dependent Effects of Cortical Electrical Stimulation on Motor Learning and the Role of Dopamine Background Introduction Nowadays, non-invasive brain stimulation techniques such as transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) are widely used in neuroplasticity research to modulate cognition and behavior. However, optimizing stimulati...

Background and Research Motivation Alcohol abuse is a global health issue, affecting over 8% of the male population. Prolonged alcohol exposure can alter the homeostasis of neurons and synapses in the brain, leading to various mental disorders and cognitive deficits, especially in motor learning. Previous studies have shown that alcohol abuse cause...
