What is muscle memory?

849 views

There are lots of things we can learn to do almost subconsciously and even pick up after a long time (“like riding a bike”).

Is there anything actually neuromuscular or is this entirely in the brain?

the part pf the brain which muscle memory is formed strengthens the neural pathways that are required for that activiry every time you practise it, not the actual muscles. the strengthen neural pathway slowly weakens the less you complete the activity, but because it was so strong, it is difficult to delete the pathway which is why you are rusty when you go on a bike for the first time in five years, but pick it up quickly again
