Motor cortex bilateral motor representation depends on subcortical and interhemispheric interactions.
The corticospinal tract is a predominantly crossed pathway. Nevertheless, the primary motor cortex (M1) is activated bilaterally during unilateral movements and several animal studies showed that M1 has a bilateral motor representation. A better understanding of the uncrossed corticospinal system is especially important for elucidating its role in recovery of limb control after unilateral injur...
متن کاملContralesional motor cortex activation depends on ipsilesional corticospinal tract integrity in well-recovered subcortical stroke patients.
BACKGROUND The relationship between structural and functional integrity of descending motor pathways can predict the potential for motor recovery after stroke. The authors examine the relationship between brain imaging biomarkers within contralesional and ipsilesional hemispheres and hand function in well-recovered patients after subcortical stroke at the level of the internal capsule. OBJECT...
متن کاملEffects of the motor cortical quadripulse transcranial magnetic stimulation (QPS) on the contralateral motor cortex and interhemispheric interactions.
Corpus callosum connects the bilateral primary motor cortices (M1s) and plays an important role in motor control. Using the paired-pulse transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) paradigm, we can measure interhemispheric inhibition (IHI) and interhemispheric facilitation (IHF) as indexes of the interhemispheric interactions in humans. We investigated how quadripulse transcranial magnetic stimulat...
متن کاملMotor Recovery After Subcortical Stroke Depends on Modulation of Extant Motor Networks
INTRODUCTION Stroke is the leading cause of long-term disability. Functional imaging studies report widespread changes in movement-related cortical networks after stroke. Whether these are a result of stroke-specific cognitive processes or reflect modulation of existing movement-related networks is unknown. Understanding this distinction is critical in establishing more effective restorative th...
متن کاملMotor but not sensory representation in motor cortex depends on postsynaptic activity during development and in maturity.
The movement representation in the primary motor cortex (M1) of the cat develops between postnatal weeks 7-12. The somatosensory representation in motor cortex is present by the age that the motor map begins to develop. In this study we examined the role of neural activity in development and maintenance of the M1 movement and somatosensory representations. We blocked activity of M1 neurons unil...
