This review discusses the cerebral plasticity, and the role of the cortico-striatal system in particular, observed as one is learning or planning to execute a newly learned motor behavior up to when the skill is consolidated or has become highly automatized. A special emphasis is given to imaging work describing the neural substrate mediating motor sequence learning and motor adaptation paradigms. These results are then put into a plausible neurobiological model of motor skill learning, which proposes an integrated view of the brain plasticity mediating this form of memory at different stages of the acquisition process.

Current issues related to motor sequence learning in humans (2018, background): “[7,43,44]), which is mainly mediated by associative cerebellar and striatal regions in conjunction with prefrontal and premotor cortical regions.”
Sleeping on the motor engram: The multifaceted nature of sleep‐related motor memory consolidation (2017, positive): “In Doyon et al. (2009b), the immediate and delayed (5 h) post-training napping conditions exhibited comparable subsequent offline changes in explicit motor sequence performance.”
Daytime Sleep Enhances Consolidation of the Spatial but Not Motoric Representation of Motor Sequence Memory (2013, background): “While the role of the striatum in motor sequence learning is well established [19,57], there is now accumulating evidence that the hippocampus also plays an important role in this process, mainly due to its ability to associate temporally discontiguous but structured information [58,59] and to proce”
Brain plasticity related to the consolidation of motor sequence learning and motor adaptation (2010, background): “Nevertheless, our results suggest that this structure does not only reflect the consolidation of a newly learned sequence of movements (6, 7, 17, 18), but that this physiological process is facilitated by sleep.”
Brain-Machine Interfaces: From Basic Science to Neuroprostheses and Neurorehabilitation. (2017, background): “Such improvements have similar mechanisms as learning of new motor skills (1, 69, 212, 213, 356, 439, 460, 547, 726).”
Neuroplasticity subserving motor skill learning (2011, positive): “Other forms of procedural motor learning are not necessarily sleep dependent (Debas et al., 2010; Doyon et al., 2009b; Song et al., 2007).”
A quantitative meta-analysis and review of motor learning in the human brain (2013, background): “Doyon et al. (2003, 2009) propose that a network of cortico-cerebellar structures primarily underlies learning in sensorimotor tasks, while a cortico-striatal system primarily underlies sequence learning tasks.”
