One fundamental function of primary motor cortex (MI) is to control voluntary movements.
Recent evidence suggests that this role emerges from distributed networks rather than …

Based upon neurophysiologic, neuroanatomic, and neuroimaging studies conducted over
the past two decades, the cerebral cortex can now be viewed as functionally and structurally …

The cortical surface is organized into a large number of cortical areas; however, these areas
have not been comprehensively mapped in the human. Abrupt transitions in resting-state …

The intensity and spatial distribution of functional activation in the left precentral and
postcentral gyri during actual motor performance (MP) and mental representation [motor …

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) techniques, such as echo-planar imaging,
can permit rapid, sensitive, whole-brain measurements of local blood flow-induced MR …

Motor practice may lead to expansion of trained representations in the motor cortex, but it is
unknown whether this practice-dependent plasticity can be purposefully enhanced or …
