Brain effective connectivity during motor-imagery and execution following stroke and rehabilitation
NeuroImage: Clinical, 2015 Brain areas within the motor system interact directly or indirectly during motor-imagery and motor-execution tasks. These interactions and their functionality can change following stroke and recovery. How brain network interactions reorganize and recover

Motor Output Variability Impairs Driving Ability in Older Adults: Reply to Stinchcombe, Dickerson, Weaver, and Bedard [PDF]
, 2017 Driving is a complex skill, as indicated by Stinchcombe and colleagues in their letter. It requires the integration of sensory inputs, cognitive processing, and motor execution.

Executive Functioning, Motor Difficulties, and Developmental Coordination Disorder [PDF]
Developmental Neuropsychology, 2015 The current study assessed a comprehensive range of executive functions (EFs) in children with poor motor skills, comparing profiles of children with a diagnosis of developmental coordination disorder (DCD) and those identified with motor difficulties (MD).

Task-specific modulation of corticospinal neuron activity during motor learning in mice
Nature Communications, 2023 Motor skill learning relies on the plasticity of the primary motor cortex as task acquisition drives cortical motor network remodeling. Large-scale cortical remodeling of evoked motor outputs occurs during the learning of corticospinal-dependent ...

Brain Sciences, 2021 Neurofeedback of real-time functional magnetic resonance imaging (rtfMRI) can enable people to self-regulate motor-related brain regions and lead to alteration of motor performance and functional connectivity (FC) underlying motor execution tasks ...

NeuroImage, 2020 Action is a cover term used to refer to a large set of motor processes differing in domain specificities (e.g. execution or observation). Here we review neuroimaging evidence on action processing (N = 416; Subjects = 5912) using quantitative Activation ...

Dissociating object directed and non-object directed action in the human mirror system; implications for theories of motor simulation. [PDF]
, 2012 Mirror neurons are single cells found in macaque premotor and parietal cortices that are active during action execution and observation. In non-human primates, mirror neurons have only been found in relation to object-directed movements or communicative ...

Impact of Auditory Context on Executed Motor Actions [PDF]
Frontiers in Integrative Neuroscience, 2016 The auditory and motor systems are strongly coupled, as is evident in the specifically tight motor synchronization that occurs in response to regularly occurring auditory cues compared with cues of other modalities. Timing of rhythmic action is known to rely on multiple neural centers including the cerebellum and the basal-ganglia which have access to ...

Temporal Evolution of Both Premotor and Motor Cortical Tuning Properties Reflect Changes in Limb Biomechanics [PDF]
, 2015 A prevailing theory in the cortical control of limb movement posits that premotor cortex initiates a high-level motor plan that is transformed by the primary motor cortex (MI) into a low-level motor command to be executed.

Prefrontal involvement in imitation learning of hand actions : effects of practice and expertise. [PDF]
, 2007 In this event-related fMRI study, we demonstrate the effects of a single session of practising configural hand actions (guitar chords) on cortical activations during observation, motor preparation, and imitative execution.
