abstract = {During rehabilitation after stroke motor sequence learning
is of particular importance because considerable effort is
devoted to (re)acquiring lost motor skills. Previous studies
suggest that implicit motor sequence learning is preserved
in stroke patients but were restricted to the spatial
dimension, although the timing of single action components
is as important as their spatial order. As the left parietal
cortex is known to play a critical role in implicit timing
and spatiotemporal integration, in this study we applied an
adapted version of the SRT task designed to assess both
spatial (different stimulus locations) and temporal
(different response–stimulus intervals) aspects of motor
learning to 24 right-handed patients with a single
left-hemisphere (LH) stroke and 24 age-matched healthy
controls. Implicit retrieval of sequence knowledge was
tested both at Day 1 and after 24 hr (Day 2). Additionally,
voxel-based lesion symptom mapping was used to investigate
the neurobiological substrates of the behavioral effects.
Although LH stroke patients showed a combined spatiotemporal
learning effect that was comparable to that observed in
controls, LH stroke patients did not show learning effects
for the learning probes in which only one type of sequence
information was maintained whereas the other one was
randomized. Particularly on Day 2, patients showed
significantly smaller learning scores for these two learning
probes than controls. Voxel-based lesion symptom mapping
analyses revealed for all learning probes that diminished
learning scores on Day 2 were associated with lesions of the
striatum. This might be attributed to its role in motor
chunking and offline consolidation as group differences
occurred on Day 2 only. The current results suggest that LH
stroke patients rely on multimodal information (here:
temporal and spatial information) when retrieving motor
sequence knowledge and are very sensitive to any disruption
of the learnt sequence information as they seem to build
very rigid chunks preventing them from forming independent
spatial and temporal sequence representations.},
