Involvement of Primary Motor Cortex in Motor Imagery: A Neuromagnetic Study
NeuroImage, 1997 Functional brain imaging studies have indicated that several cortical and subcortical areas active during actual motor performance are also active during imagination or mental rehearsal of movements. Recent evidence shows that the primary motor cortex may also be involved in motor imagery.

Dopaminergic Projections from Midbrain to Primary Motor Cortex Mediate Motor Skill Learning [PDF]
The Journal of Neuroscience, 2011 The primary motor cortex (M1) of the rat contains dopaminergic terminals. The origin of this dopaminergic projection and its functional role for movement are obscure. Other areas of cortex receive dopaminergic projections from the ventral tegmental area (VTA) of the midbrain, and these projections are involved in learning phenomena.

What Disconnection Tells about Motor Imagery: Evidence from Paraplegic Patients [PDF]
, 2017 Brain activation during motor imagery has been the subject of a large number of studies in healthy subjects, leading to divergent interpretations with respect to the role of descending pathways and kinesthetic feedback on the mental rehearsal of ...

Emergent modular neural control drives coordinated motor actions. [PDF]
, 2019 A remarkable feature of motor control is the ability to coordinate movements across distinct body parts into a consistent, skilled action. To reach and grasp an object, 'gross' arm and 'fine' dexterous movements must be coordinated as a single action ...

Time course of EEG activities in continuous tracking task: a pilot study [PDF]
, 2017 Motor learning is crucial to surgical skills enhancement, but its neural mechanism has been investigated only using some simple tasks with limited motor involvement. This study aimed to gain more understanding of the neural dynamics during motor learning

Muscle co-activity tuning in Parkinsonian hand movement : disease-specific changes at behavioral and cerebral level [PDF]
, 2015 We investigated different degrees of muscle co-activity in simple hand movement at behavioral and cerebral level in healthy subjects and Parkinson’s disease (PD) patients. We compared 'singular' movements, dominated by the activity of one agonist muscle,
