Until recently, drastic approach of motor learning in intact humans was not possible. The introduction of noninvasive techniques to stimulate the motor cortex in the present review permitted the testing and investigation of cortical motor outflow related to mechanisms in human motor learning. Human mapping studies, previously performed only during surgical procedures on patients with neurological disorders, can now be done with minimal discomfort. In the present brief review, therefore, we have attempted to introduce and review to use mapping techniques and to study the neurophysiological mechanisms of human motor learning. In particular, we surveyed modulation of cortical motor output during the acquisition of new motor skills and discussed neuronal plasticity that underlies improvement of voluntary movement in the brain.
