Imaging the premotor areas.

چکیده
Recent imaging studies of motor function provide new insights into the organization of the premotor areas of the frontal lobe. The pre-supplementary motor area and the rostral portion of the dorsal premotor cortex, the 'pre-PMd', are, in many respects, more like prefrontal areas than motor areas. Recent data also suggest the existence of separate functional divisions in the rostral cingulate zone.

Predicting perceptual events activates corresponding motor schemes in lateral premotor cortex: an fMRI study.
The ability to recognize sequential patterns of external events enables us to predict their future course and thus to plan and execute actions based on current perceptions and previous experiences. Here we show with functional magnetic resonance imaging that even in the absence of movement the prediction of sequential patterns activates brain areas involved in the representation of specific mot...
متن کاملFunctional organization of the lateral premotor cortex: fMRI reveals different regions activated by anticipation of object properties, location and speed.
Previous studies have provided evidence that the lateral premotor cortex (PMC) is involved in representations triggered by attended sensory events. However, while the functional specificity of subregions of this large cortical structure has been intensively investigated in the monkey, little is known about functional differences within human lateral premotor areas. In the present study, functio...
متن کاملActivation of premotor vocal areas during musical discrimination.
Two same/different discrimination tasks were performed by amateur-musician subjects in this functional magnetic resonance imaging study: Melody Discrimination and Harmony Discrimination. Both tasks led to activations not only in classic working memory areas--such as the cingulate gyrus and dorsolateral prefrontal cortex--but in a series of premotor areas involved in vocal-motor planning and pro...
متن کاملMotion class dependency in observers' motor areas revealed by functional magnetic resonance imaging.
Human and animal data suggest that the mere observation of biological motion activates those premotor areas that also underlie the initiation of the same motion. However, data also indicate that the human premotor cortex (PM), in contrast to the monkey PM, responds not only to the observation of goal-directed (transitive) motion but also to intransitive motion. The present study used functional...
متن کاملMaking Mirrors: Premotor Cortex Stimulation Enhances Mirror and Counter-mirror Motor Facilitation
Mirror neurons fire during both the performance of an action and the observation of the same action being performed by another. These neurons have been recorded in ventral premotor and inferior parietal cortex in the macaque, but human brain imaging studies suggest that areas responding to the observation and performance of actions are more widespread. We used paired-pulse TMS to test whether d...
