The pervasive nature of handedness across human history and cultures is a salient
consequence of brain lateralization. This paper presents evidence that provides a structure …

Background Unilateral stroke produces debilitating deficits in voluntary control in the
contralesional arm, and significant motor coordination deficits in the ipsilesional arm. In …

Background. Previous research has detailed the hemisphere dependence and specific
kinematic deficits observed for the less-affected arm of patients with unilateral stroke …

Neurophysiologic correlates of motor learning that can be monitored during
neurorehabilitation interventions can facilitate the development of more effective learning …

A long-standing question in systems neuroscience is to what extent task-relevant features of
neocortical processing are localized or distributed. Coordinated activity across the neocortex …

Research in both humans and monkeys has shown that even simple hand movements
require cortical control beyond primary sensorimotor areas. An extensive functional …

Two contrasting views of handedness can be described as 1) complementary dominance, in
which each hemisphere is specialized for different aspects of motor control, and 2) global …

Converging evidences suggest that mental movement simulation and actual movement
production share similar neurocognitive and learning processes. Although a large body of …

Functional neuroimaging and brain lesion studies demonstrate that secondary motor areas
of the frontal lobe play a crucial role in the cortical control of hand movements. However, no …

Hemispheric specialization for motor control influences how individuals perform and adapt
to goal-directed movements. In contrast to adaptation, motor skill learning involves a process …
