Sat 16 November 2024 4:00, UK With a personality as vibrant as her anthemic songs, Brenda Fassie was a true icon of South African pop music. From her beginning in a disco-inspired bubblegum group to her trailblazing solo career, her material served as the soundtrack to her country’s liberation from apartheid. Given her exploits, Fassie’s political songwriting and diva persona saw her compared to both Bob Dylan and Madonna in her time.

Introduction Aerobic exercise and improved cardiorespiratory fitness support learning and memory in older adults (Erickson et al., 2011; Kandola et al., 2016; Wendell et al., 2013), but less is known regarding the neural mechanisms through which this occurs.

Introduction The motor system is known to deteriorate with age (Seidler et al., 2010). The primary motor cortex is a key node within the motor system, which demonstrates plasticity as a function of use and learning (Levin et al., 2014; Rioult-Pedotti et al., 1998; Sanes & Donoghue, 2000). It is known to be a crucial brain region for the acquisition and retention of motor skills (Coxon et al., 2014; Kolasinski et al., 2019; Muellbacher et al., 2002; Peters et al., 2017).

AbstractRationale: Dopamine signalling supports motor skill learning in a variety of ways, including through an effect on cortical and striatal plasticity. One neuromodulator that has been consistently linked to motor skill learning is dopamine. However, the specific role of dopamine D2 receptor in the acquisition and consolidation stages of motor learning remains unclear. Objectives: To examine the effect of a selective D2 receptor antagonist on human motor skill acquisition and consolidation.
