The many facets of motor learning and their relevance for Parkinson's disease

Motor learning in Parkinson's disease (PD), defined as the ability to learn and refine skills, has been the subject of investigations and debate for more than two decades. In fact, studies have produced controversial results, as whether or not motor skill formation is impaired in PD. Confounding factors are many, starting from the use of a variety of tasks that tap into different cognitive and motor aspects to the influence of drugs and therapies used in PD. Another important problem in deciphering those results is the range of terminology used in defining the type of learning involved in the different motor tasks.
