It is well established that the premotor cortex has a central role in the selection of
movements. The role of parts of the parietal cortex in movement control has proved more …

Limb apraxia comprises a wide spectrum of higher-order motor disorders that result from
acquired brain disease affecting the performance of skilled, learned movements. At present …

Handedness is a prominent behavioral phenomenon that emerges from asymmetrical
neural organization of human motor systems. However, the aspects of motor performance …

Gait disorders and postural instability, which are commonly observed in elderly patients with
Parkinson disease (PD), respond poorly to dopaminergic agents used to treat other …

Objective: To investigate the frequency of somatosensory impairment in stroke patients
within different somatosensory modalities and different body areas, and their recovery …

Most manual grips can be divided in precision and power grips on the basis of phylogenetic
and functional considerations. We used functional magnetic resonance imaging to compare …

Temporal orienting of attention is the ability to focus resources at a particular moment in time
in order to optimise behaviour, and is associated with activation of left parietal and premotor …

Precise timing of sensory information from multiple sensory streams is essential for many
aspects of human perception and action. Animal and human research implicates the basal …

Age‐related neurodegenerative and neurochemical changes are thought to underlie decline
in motor and cognitive functions, but compensatory processes in cortical and subcortical …

Whereas the human right hemisphere is active during execution of contralateral hand
movements, the left hemisphere is engaged for both contra-and ipsilateral movements, at …
