چکیده

In a series of animals being studied for motor performance after parietal area ablations (earlier communications2 with Dr. M. A. Kennard) skin temperature readings were taken from the extremities with the intention of studying these preparations further. Significant, sometimes wide, differences in skin temperature were obtained in these parietal preparations. It was decided, therefore, to explore by the method of extirpation the various regions of the cerebral cortex for their effects on skin temperature regulation.

Functional MR imaging of cortical activation of the cerebral hemispheres during motor tasks.

PURPOSE We used functional MR imaging to evaluate cortical activation in the precentral, central, and postcentral regions of the contralateral and ipsilateral cerebral hemispheres during left- and right-handed motor tasks. METHODS Ten healthy right-handed volunteers were studied with echo-planner MR imaging (1.5 T) while performing alternating finger apposition tasks with both hands. During t...

The parietal lobe as an additional motor area; the motor effects of electrical stimulation and ablation of cortical areas 5 and 7 in monkeys.

Patients having destructive lesions of the precentral motor cortex (area 4) due to tumor, degenerative processes, or surgical excision always retain a considerable amount of useful movement of the contralateral extremities. However, the ability to perform delicate and fine movements is lost when the precentral motor cortex is destroyed, the remaining movements being more gross and usually confi...

Possible clinical overlap between postencephalitic parkinsonism and progressive supranuclear palsy.

Two somatosensory projection areas, S I and S II, have been shown to exist in the brains of mammals of various species.3 S I, located in the postcentral gyrus, is especially concerned with the integration of sensory experience and with the discriminative qualities of sensation. S II has been mapped to the parietal operculum in many animal species,3 including humans.4 According to recent studies...

Spatiotemporal mapping of cortical activity accompanying voluntary movements using an event-related beamforming approach.

We describe a novel spatial filtering approach to the localization of cortical activity accompanying voluntary movements. The synthetic aperture magnetometry (SAM) minimum-variance beamformer algorithm was used to compute spatial filters three-dimensionally over the entire brain from single trial neuromagnetic recordings of subjects performing self-paced index finger movements. Images of instan...

Acute Finger Paralysis: A Case Report of Cortical Ischemic Stroke

Somatotopic distribution of motor cortex and sensory fibers is theoretically fully understood. We present a case of stroke, mimicking peripheral palsy, with finger paralysis attributed to cortical lesion. The patient’s brain MRI may be useful to further understand the somatotopic representation of fingers in precentral and postcentral gyrus.
