Summary
Project Summary/Abstract The hippocampus was long described by seminal memory models to not be necessary for procedural (motor) learning. In contrast, neuroimaging studies from the last two decades consistently show hippocampal recruitment during motor sequence learning. These conflicting results show that the extent to which the hippocampus contributes to motor learning is unknown. We argue that this knowledge gap is attributed to a lack of causal neuroimaging evidence elucidating the role of the hippocampus in motor memory. Failing to address this critical gap will be a missed opportunity to
