Coordinate transformation is first completed downstream of primary motor cortex.
It was suggested previously that the transformation of action to muscle-based coding is completed in the primary motor cortex (M1). This is consistent with a predominant direct pathway leading from M1 to motoneurons. Accordingly, spinal segmental interneurons that are located downstream to M1 are expected to show muscle-like coding properties. We addressed this hypothesis using simultaneous rec...
متن کاملNeural correlates of a spatial sensory-to-motor transformation in primary motor cortex.
Primary motor cortex (MC) has been strongly implicated in motor processing, but there have been relatively few attempts to determine whether MC may also play a role in either sensory or context-dependent processing. In the present study, neuronal activity in MC was characterized in relation to the planning and execution of visually instructed limb movements whose trajectories were dissociated f...
متن کاملOveractivation of primary motor cortex is asymmetrical in hemiparkinsonian patients.
Regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) was measured using PET and H2(15)O in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients with predominantly right-sided akinetic-rigid symptoms and in control subjects during the execution of an externally cued motor task either with the left or the right hand. During the execution of the task with the left, non-akinetic, hand, cerebral activation in PD patients appeared simi...
متن کاملPlasticity and primary motor cortex.
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 discrete representations and that in adult mammals these networks are capable of modification. Neuronal recordings and activation patterns revealed with neuroimaging methods have shown considerable plasticity of MI represe...
