Summary: Motor adaptation reflects the ability of the brain's sensorimotor system to flexibly deal with environmental changes to generate effective motor behaviour. Whether sleep contributes to the consolidation of motor adaptation remains controversial. In this study, we investigated the impact of sleep on motor adaptation and its neurophysiological correlates in a novel motor adaptation task that leverages a highly automatised motor skill, that is, typing. We hypothesised that sleep‐associated memory consolidation would benefit motor adaptation and induce modulations in task‐related beta band (13–30 Hz) activity during adaptation. Healthy young male experts in typing on the regular computer keyboard were trained to type on a vertically mirrored keyboard while brain activity was recorded using electroencephalography. Typing performance was assessed either after a full night of sleep with polysomnography or a similar period of daytime wakefulness. Results showed improved motor adaptation performance after nocturnal sleep but not after daytime wakefulness, and decreased beta power: (a) during mirrored typing as compared with regular typing; and (b) in the post‐sleep versus the pre‐sleep mirrored typing sessions. Furthermore, the slope of the electroencephalography signal, a measure of aperiodic brain activity, decreased during mirrored as compared with regular typing. Changes in the electroencephalography spectral slope from pre‐ to post‐sleep mirrored typing sessions were correlated with changes in task performance. Finally, increased fast sleep spindle density (13–15 Hz) during the night following motor adaptation training was predictive of successful motor adaptation. These findings suggest that post‐training sleep modulates neural activity supporting adaptive motor functions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
