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.
