Evidence for lateral premotor and parietal overactivity in Parkinson's disease during sequential and bimanual movements. A PET study.
Patients with Parkinson's disease have great difficulty in performing sequential and bimanual movements. We used H2(15)O PET to study the regional cerebral blood flow associated with performance of sequential finger movements made unimanually and bimanually in a group of Parkinson's disease patients and a group of control volunteers. In controls, sequential finger movements led to activation of...
متن کاملA PET study of sequential finger movements of varying length in patients with Parkinson's disease.
To study the difficulty that patients with Parkinson's disease have in performing long sequential movements, we used H2(15)O PET to assess the regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) associated with the performance of simple repetitive movements, well-learned sequential finger movements of varying length and self-selected movements. Sequential finger movements in the Parkinson's disease patients we...
متن کاملHow the brain handles temporally uncoupled bimanual movements.
Whereas the cerebral representation of bimanual spatial coordination has been subject to prior research, the networks mediating bimanual temporal coordination are still unclear. The present study used functional imaging to investigate cerebral networks mediating temporally uncoupled bimanual finger movements. Three bimanual tasks were designed for the execution of movements with different timin...
متن کاملRole of the supplementary motor area and the right premotor cortex in the coordination of bimanual finger movements.
To obtain a better understanding of the cortical representation of bimanual coordination, we measured regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) with 15O-labeled water and positron emission tomography (PET). To detect areas with changes of rCBF during bimanual finger movements of different characteristics, we studied 12 right-handed normal volunteers. A complete session consisted of three rest scans a...
متن کاملParieto-premotor areas mediate directional interference during bimanual movements.
In bimanual movements, interference emerges when limbs are moved simultaneously along incompatible directions. The neural substrate and mechanisms underlying this phenomenon are largely unknown. We used functional magnetic resonance imaging to compare brain activation during directional incompatible versus compatible bimanual movements. Our main results were that directional interference emerge...
