	<abstract>&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Introduction: &lt;/strong&gt;Based on the literature, unihemispheric concurrent dual-site anodal transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (a-tDCSUHCDS) of primary Motor cortex (M1) and Dorsolateral Prefrontal Cortex (DLPFC) would be more efficient than conventional a-tDCS of M1 to induce larger and longer-lasting M1 corticospinal excitability. The main objective of the present study was to compare the effects of a-tDCSUHCDS and conventional M1 a-tDCS on the extent and durability of the motor sequence acquisition in healthy individuals.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Methods: &lt;/strong&gt;In this randomized sham-controlled study, healthy volunteers were randomly divided into three groups: experimental (a-tDCSUHCDS), control (M1 a-tDCS), and sham stimulation groups. The participants practiced serial response time task over three consecutive days when they simultaneously received a-tDCS. Using the skill measure, we assessed motor learning up to 4 weeks after the completion of experimental conditions.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; Data analysis revealed that all groups exhibited the improved trend over the training course (P&lt;0.001). There were no significant differences in skill acquisition among groups at post-intervention (P&gt;0.05), while a significant improvement was observed between experimental and sham group at the retention time (P&lt;0.05). Moreover, there were no significant differences between the control and two other groups with regard to the retention time (P&gt;0.05).&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; These results revealed a significant increase in the skill acquisition by a-tDCSUHCDS technique with regard to retention issue, which could be a valuable finding in neuro-rehabilitation field.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
