Estudo da imagem motora cinestésica em pacientes com cãibra do escrivão [PDF]

Arquivos de Neuro-Psiquiatria, 2009
The aim was to determine if patients with writer' cramp (WC) have abnormalities in kinesthetic motor imagery of hand movements. We timed the execution and simulation of a "finger tap task" and a "writing task" in 9 patients with simple WC and 9 matched ...

Differential Influence of the Dorsal Premotor and Primary Somatosensory Cortex on Corticospinal Excitability during Kinesthetic and Visual Motor Imagery: A Low-Frequency Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Study

Brain Sciences, 2021
Consistent evidence suggests that motor imagery involves the activation of several sensorimotor areas also involved during action execution, including the dorsal premotor cortex (dPMC) and the primary somatosensory cortex (S1).

Neural Kinesthetic Contribution to Motor Imagery of Body Parts: Tongue, Hands, and Feet [PDF]

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2021
Motor imagery (MI) is assimilated to a perception-action process, which is mentally represented. Although several models suggest that MI, and its equivalent motor execution, engage very similar brain areas, the mechanisms underlying MI and their ...

Motor imagery perspective shapes corticospinal excitability with effector-specific effects [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Motor imagery (MI) allows individuals to mentally simulate movements without execution, engaging neural pathways that overlap with those used during real actions.

Influence of kinesthetic motor imagery and effector specificity on the long-latency stretch response. [PDF]

J Neurophysiol, 2019
AbstractThe long-latency “reflexive” response (LLR) following an upper-limb mechanical disturbance is generated by neural circuitry shared with voluntary control. This feedback response supports many task-dependent behaviours and permits the expression of goal-directed corrections at latencies shorter than voluntary reaction time.

How Kinesthetic Motor Imagery works: A predictive-processing theory of visualization in sports and motor expertise [PDF]

Journal of Physiology-Paris, 2015
Kinesthetic Motor Imagery (KMI) is an important technique to acquire and refine motor skills. KMI is widely used by professional athletes as an effective way to improve motor performance without overt motor output. Despite this obvious relevance, the functional mechanisms and neural circuits involved in KMI in sports are still poorly understood. In the

The BOLD response in primary motor cortex and supplementary motor area during kinesthetic motor imagery based graded fMRI neurofeedback. [PDF]

Neuroimage, 2019
There is increasing interest in exploring the use of functional MRI neurofeedback (fMRI-NF) as a therapeutic technique for a range of neurological conditions such as stroke and Parkinson's disease (PD). One main therapeutic potential of fMRI-NF is to enhance volitional control of damaged or dysfunctional neural nodes and networks via a closed-loop ...

Investigation of fMRI neurofeedback of differential primary motor cortex activity using kinesthetic motor imagery

NeuroImage, 2012
Functional MRI neurofeedback (fMRI NF) is an emerging technique that trains subjects to regulate their brain activity while they manipulate sensory stimulus representations of fMRI signals in "real-time". Here we report an fMRI NF study of brain activity associated with kinesthetic motor imagery (kMI), analyzed using partial least squares (PLS), a ...

Investigation of the effect of a virtual reality-based imagery training model on muscle activation in athletes [PDF]

Frontiers in Psychology
IntroductionIn the field of sports psychology, imagery training plays a significant role in enhancing athletes’ mental preparation and optimizing sports performance.

Motor imagery in individuals with congenital aphantasia [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Individuals who experience aphantasia have an inability to create sensory mental images, what lead to a range of cognitive and behavioral differences compared to the general population.
