We investigated the effects of long-term training on the neural representation of individual
finger movements in the primary sensorimotor cortex. One group of participants (trained …

Human primary motor cortex (M1) is essential for producing dexterous hand movements.
Although distinct subpopulations of neurons are activated during single-finger movements, it …

We usedfunctional magnetic resonance imaging to examine the representation pattern for
repetitive voluntary finger movements in the primary motor cortex (M1) and the …

How is the primary motor cortex (M1) organized to control fine finger movements? We
investigated the population activity in M1 for single finger flexion and extension, using 7T …

In this study, we used functional MRI (fMRI) at high field (3T) to track the time course of
activation in the entire basal ganglia circuitry, as well as other motor-related structures …

Purpose The purpose of the current study was to explore the immediate effect of motor
imagery (MI) involving finger movement of a given limb on cortical response and muscle …

Fine finger movements are controlled by the population activity of neurons in the hand area
of primary motor cortex. Experiments using microstimulation and single-neuron …

Performing a complex sequential finger movement requires the temporally well‐ordered
organization of individual finger movements. Previous behavioural studies have suggested …

Motor skill learning is associated with profound changes in brain activation patterns over
time. Associative and rostral premotor cortical and subcortical regions are mostly recruited …

We tested whether the resting state functional connectivity of the motor system changed
during 4weeks of motor skill learning using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) …
