This review summarizes early human motor development. From early fetal age motor
behavior is based on spontaneous neural activity: activity of networks in the brainstem and …

General movements are present from early fetal life to 3 to 5 months corrected age. Atypical
general movements, especially in the last, so‐called fidgety general movement phase, are …

Human motor control requires the coordination of muscle activity under the anatomical
constraints imposed by the musculoskeletal system. Interactions within the central nervous …

Human behaviors, with whole-body coordination, involve large-scale sensorimotor
interaction. Spontaneous bodily movements in the early developmental stage potentially …

The first years of life represent an important phase of maturation of the central nervous
system, processing of sensory information, posture control and acquisition of the locomotor …

To elucidate the underlying physiological mechanisms of muscle synergies, we investigated
long-range functional connectivity by cortico-muscular (CMC), intermuscular (IMC) and …

Beta-band activity in the sensorimotor cortex is considered a potential biomarker for
evaluating motor functions. The intricate connection between the brain and muscle …

Corticomuscular (CMC) and intramuscular (intraMC) coherence represent measures of
corticospinal interaction. Both CMC and intraMC can be assessed during human locomotion …

Abstract Electroencephalogram (EEG)–electromyogram (EMG) coherence analysis is an
effective method for examining the functional connection between brain and muscles. An …

Early childhood is characterized by rapid increases in both motor skills and executive
function skills. Rather than simply codeveloping, the development of motor and executive …
