Additive and interaction effects of working memory and motor sequence training on brain functional connectivity
Abstract Although shared behavioral and neural mechanisms between working memory (WM) and motor sequence learning (MSL) have been suggested, the additive and interactive effects of training have not been studied. This study aimed at investigating changes in brain functional connectivity (FC) induced...
