title: Motor adaptation following split-belt treadmill walking.
abstract: Malone L, Vasudevan E, and Bastian A (J Neurosci 31: 15136-15143, 2011) investigated the effects of different training paradigms on the day-by-day retention of learned motor patterns. In this Neuro Forum, a description and assessment of the methods used will be presented. The interpretation of the findings will be extended and the possible implications will be discussed. Finally, alternative explanations of the possible regions involved in motor pattern relearning will be provided.
