In addition, we previously identified qualitative individual differences in adaptation linked to the formation and updating of new memory processes. Here, we investigated quantitative and qualitative differences in visuomotor adaptation with a design incorporating repeated learning and forgetting blocks, allowing for precise estimation of individual learning and forgetting rates in fast-slow adaptation models. Participants engaged in a two-day online visuomotor adaptation task. They first adapted to a 30° perturbation to eight targets in three learning blocks. Approximately 24 h later, they performed a no-feedback retention and a relearning block. We clustered the participants into strong and weak learners based on adaptation levels at the end of <i>day 1</i> and fitted a fast-slow system to the adaptation data. Strong learners exhibited a strong negative correlation between the estimated slow and fast processes, which predicted 24-h retention and savings, respectively, supporting the engagement of a fast-slow system. The individual differences in the recruitment of the two processes were attributed to a wide range of learning rates. Conversely, weak learners exhibited retention but no savings, supporting the engagement of a single slow system. Finally, both during baseline and adaptation, reaction times were shorter for weak learners. Our findings thus reveal two distinct ways to learn in visuomotor adaptation and highlight the necessity of considering both quantitative and qualitative individual differences in studies of motor learning.<b>NEW & NOTEWORTHY</b> Humans show large variability in their capacity to learn motor skills. Here, we demonstrate using an online experiment that the between-subject variability in motor adaptation has two sources: a qualitative difference, whereas some learners recruit a single slow process and others recruit both a fast and a slow process, and, among the latter group of learners, large quantitative differences in the competitive recruitment of the two processes.</p>","PeriodicalId":16563,"journal":{"name":"Journal of neurophysiology","volume":" ","pages":"1085-1096"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144957778","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Previous studies failed to differentiate its effect on explicit (or cognitive) and implicit (or procedural) aspects of motor learning. Here, we designed a dual-task paradigm requiring participants to simultaneously perform a visual working memory task and a visuomotor rotation adaptation task to investigate how cognitive load differentially impacted explicit and implicit motor learning. Over the three consecutive learning days, the control group without the dual task showed an increase in explicit learning and a decrease in implicit learning. In contrast, cognitive load, implemented by the dual task in the experimental group, selectively impaired explicit learning but spared implicit motor learning. Individual analysis uncovered a negative correlation between explicit learning and working memory performance, suggesting a trade-off between motor and cognitive tasks that compete for cognitive resources. Importantly, moderation analysis revealed that the relative increase in implicit learning was not directly influenced by cognitive load but rather indirectly by the changes in explicit learning. Specifically, individuals with more suppression in explicit learning from the dual task exhibited higher implicit learning. Our findings provide new insights into how cognitive load differentially affects explicit and implicit motor learning, as well as the interaction between explicit and implicit learning systems.<b>NEW & NOTEWORTHY</b> Motor skill acquisition is ubiquitously accompanied by cognitive load, yet its effects on motor learning remain understudied.

Here, we developed a physiologically relevant in vitro model to study these mechanisms by inducing prolonged seizure-like discharges (SLDs) in hippocampal slices from male rats through modest, sustained ionic manipulations. Specifically, we reduced extracellular calcium to 0.8-1.0 mM and elevated potassium to 6-12 mM, mimicking pathophysiological states observed in vivo during brain injury, hypocalcemia, or intense neuronal activity. These ionic shifts reliably generated SLDs in the dentate gyrus and CA1. The SLDs could last tens of seconds and exhibited an evolution in waveform, pattern, and complexity-common and important characteristics of seizures in vivo, including spontaneous recurrent seizures recorded from freely behaving rats with kainate-induced epilepsy. In CA1, the SLDs continued to occur after evoked synaptic responses were eliminated with glutamate- and GABA-receptor antagonists. The blocker-resistant SLDs typically had an altered frequency and duration with reduced temporal waveform complexity. Thus, nonsynaptic ionic and electrical mechanisms can sustain and synchronize SLDs that do not require glutamatergic and GABAergic transmission; however, these neurotransmitter systems contribute significantly to the frequency, duration, and temporal complexity of the discharges. This work demonstrates that seizure generation can occur independently of classical synaptic transmission, highlighting the relevance of nonsynaptic mechanisms in seizures arising under metabolic or injury-related conditions. However, synaptic transmission contributes to the temporal evolution and complexity of seizures-hallmarks of clinically observed seizure activity.<b>NEW & NOTEWORTHY</b> Modest, sustained reductions in [Ca<sup>2+</sup>]<sub>ex</sub> and increases in [K<sup>+</sup>]<sub>ex</sub> reliably induce seizure-like discharges (SLDs) in hippocampal slices, mimicking key features of spontaneous seizures in vivo.

In aged rats, mAIH-induced pLTF is diminished due to increased basal spinal adenosine levels that further constrain serotonin-driven pLTF. In contrast, in young male rats, severe AIH (sAIH) elicits pLTF via an adenosine-dominant, serotonin-constrained mechanism. Since basal spinal adenosine levels are elevated in aged male rats, we tested the hypothesis that adenosine-dependent, sAIH-induced pLTF is enhanced in aged versus young male rats. Young (∼3 mo) and aged (∼20 mo) male Sprague-Dawley rats were urethane-anesthetized, ventilated, vagotomized, paralyzed, and exposed to sAIH (3, 5-min episodes, arterial Po<sub>2</sub> = 25-30 mmHg; 5-min intervals).

Early studies of such stimuli involving frequency-modulated sweeps revealed that neurons in the primary auditory cortex of a variety of mammals show differences in firing rates depending on either the direction of the sweep and/or the sweep velocity. Psychophysical studies have also shown that the perception of such time-varying stimulus parameters is quite acute, underscoring the importance of such signals in normal acoustic perception. The responses of auditory neurons in alert primates has been little studied, and there is limited information relating neural activity to the perception of these signals. In this study, we investigated the neural discriminability of sweep direction and velocity for frequency-modulated sweeps presented to alert rhesus macaque monkeys in both core and belt auditory cortical areas. We quantified how well these information-bearing parameters were encoded using spike train pattern discriminators, and compared decoder performance when neural responses were restricted to temporal patterns or firing rates. Decoding accuracy for firing rate alone exceeded chance, and rate-normalized, spike-timing information was essentially equivalent to the complete firing pattern. Although most belt areas showed small decreases in decoding accuracy relative to the primary field, all fields encoded and represented sweeps similarly. Thus, there was little evidence of hierarchical processing between core and belt fields for these stimuli, indicating that frequency modulation sweep direction and velocity are not specifically extracted in the early auditory cortical hierarchy.</p>","PeriodicalId":16563,"journal":{"name":"Journal of neurophysiology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-09-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145182008","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
