Mechanisms underlying functional changes in the primary motor cortex ipsilateral to an active hand
Performance of a unimanual hand motor task results in functional changes in both primary
motor cortices (M1ipsilateral and M1contralateral). The neuronal mechanisms controlling the …

Evidence for two concurrent inhibitory mechanisms during response preparation
Inhibitory mechanisms are critically involved in goal-directed behaviors. To gain further
insight into how such mechanisms shape motor representations during response …

The ipsilateral motor cortex contributes to cross‐limb transfer of performance gains after ballistic motor practice
M Lee, MR Hinder, SC Gandevia… - The Journal of …, 2010 - Wiley Online Library
Although it has long been known that practicing a motor task with one limb can improve
performance with the limb opposite, the mechanisms remain poorly understood. Here we …

Role of corticospinal suppression during motor preparation
Behavior arises from a constant competition between potential actions. For example,
movements performed unimanually require selecting one hand rather than the other …

Where one hand meets the other: limb-specific and action-dependent movement plans decoded from preparatory signals in single human frontoparietal brain areas
Planning object-directed hand actions requires successful integration of the movement goal
with the acting limb. Exactly where and how this sensorimotor integration occurs in the brain …

Intermanual differences in movement-related interhemispheric inhibition
Interhemispheric inhibition (IHI) between motor cortical areas is thought to play a critical role
in motor control and could influence manual dexterity. The purpose of this study was to …
