- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method <p>The main objective of the study is to determine the role of dopamine on motor<br /><br>learning in healthy individuals. The participants will be subjected to two<br /><br>different cerebellar specific motor adaptation paradigms: the inward saccade<br /><br>adaptation task and the visuomotor adaptation task. The motor learning capacity<br /><br>will be determined by quantifying the velocity and gain of adaptation. The<br /><br>motor timing, motor tremor, motor strength and attention task are control<br /><br>experiments that allow us to put the output parameters of adaptation tasks in<br /><br>the correct perspective. </p><br>
