Social Motor Priming: when offline interference facilitates motor execution [PDF]
Many daily activities involve synchronizing with other people’s actions. Previous literature has revealed that a slowdown of performance occurs whenever the action to be carried out is different to the one observed (i.e., visuomotor interference ...

Aging Changes Effective Connectivity of Motor Networks During Motor Execution and Motor Imagery [PDF]
Age-related neurodegenerative and neurochemical changes are considered to be the basis for the decline of motor function; however, the change of effective connections in cortical motor networks that come with aging remains unclear.

Corticothalamic neurons in motor cortex have a permissive role in motor execution [PDF]
The primary motor cortex (M1) is a central hub for motor learning and execution. M1 is composed of heterogeneous cell types with varying relationships to movement.

Disrupted topological organization of the motor execution network in Wilson's disease [PDF]
ObjectiveThere are a number of symptoms associated with Wilson's disease (WD), including motor function damage. The neuropathological mechanisms underlying motor impairments in WD are, however, little understood. In this study, we explored changes in the

Comparison of cerebral activation between motor execution and motor imagery of self-feeding activity [PDF]
Motor imagery is defined as an act wherein an individual contemplates a mental action of motor execution without apparent action. Mental practice executed by repetitive motor imagery can improve motor performance without simultaneous sensory input or ...

Acquisition and processing of Motor Imagery and Motor Execution Dataset (MIMED) for six movement activities [PDF]
The MIMED dataset is a dataset that provides raw electroencephalogram signal data for activities: raising the right-hand, lowering the right-hand, raising the left-hand, lowering the left-hand, standing, and sitting. In addition to raw data, this dataset

Engaging distributed cortical and cerebellar networks through motor execution, observation, and imagery [PDF]
When we interact with the environment around us, we are sometimes active participants, making directed physical motor movements and other times only mentally engaging with our environment, taking in sensory information and internally planning our next ...

Brain Activation of Elite Race Walkers in Action Observation, Motor Imagery, and Motor Execution Tasks: A Pilot Study [PDF]
Walking plays an important role in human daily life. Many previous studies suggested that long-term walking training can modulate brain functions. However, due to the use of measuring techniques such as fMRI and PET, which are highly motion-sensitive, it

Disentangling motor planning and motor execution in unmedicated de novo Parkinson's disease patients: An fMRI study [PDF]
Many studies have used functional magnetic resonance imaging to unravel the neuronal underpinnings of motor system abnormalities in Parkinson's disease, indicating functional inhibition at the level of basal ganglia-thalamo-cortical motor networks.
