DOI: 10.1007/s00221-021-06126-4
Abstract: Focus of attention (FOA) has been shown to affect human motor performance. Research into FOA has mainly posited it as either external or internal to-the-body (EFOA and IFOA, respectively). However, this binary paradigm overlooks the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.neuroimage.2021.117871
Abstract: Although gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA) is of particular importance for efficient motor functioning, very little is known about the relationship between regional GABA levels and motor performance. Some studies suggest this relation to be subject… read more here.

DOI: 10.1073/pnas.1715617115
Abstract: Significance Simple voluntary movements (e.g., reaching or gripping) deteriorate with distraction, suggesting that the attention-control system—which suppresses distraction—influences motor control. Here, we tested the causal dependency of simple movements on attention control, and its neuroanatomical… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/00222895.2019.1579167
Abstract: Abstract Previous studies showed that motor asymmetries are reduced in left-handers and after a long-term fencing training in right-handers. Interestingly, left-handed athletes are substantially over-represented in elite fencing. These findings have been speculatively explained by… read more here.
