Skilled motor behaviour, from the graceful leap of a ballerina to a precise pitch by a baseball
player, appears effortless but reflects an intimate interaction between the complex …

▪ Abstract The posterior parietal cortex (PPC), historically believed to be a sensory structure,
is now viewed as an area important for sensory-motor integration. Among its functions is the …

We used event-related functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to measure brain
activity when subjects were performing identical tasks in the context of either a task-set …

Finger-tapping tasks are one of the most common paradigms used to study the human motor
system in functional neuroimaging studies. These tasks can vary both in the presence or …

Although recent neurological research has shed light on the brain's mechanisms of self-
repair after stroke, the role that intact tissue plays in recovery is still obscure. To explore …

Picking up an object requires two basic motor operations: reaching and grasping.
Neurophysiological studies in monkeys have suggested that the visuomotor transformations …

The dorsal and ventral premotor areas, together with the primary motor cortex, are believed
to have major roles in preparing and executing limb movements. Recent studies have …

In order to study neural systems which are involved in motor timing we used whole-brain
functional resonance imaging while subjects performed a paced finger-tapping task (PFT) …

Adaptation of arm movements to laterally displacing prism glasses is usually highly specific
to body part and movement type and is known to require the cerebellum. Here, we show that …

The dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) possesses cortico-cortical connections with the
parietal and premotor cortices that are involved in visuomotor control of actions. Studies …
