Controversy surrounds the function of the anterior cingulate cortex. Recent discussions
about its role in behavioural control have centred on three main issues: its involvement in …

Locomotion in vertebrates and invertebrates has a long history in research as the most
prominent example of interlimb coordination. However, the evolution towards upright stance …

This chapter reviews results of clinical and functional imaging studies which investigated the
time-course of cortical and subcortical activation during the acquisition of motor a skill …

Bimanual coordination, a prototype of a complex motor skill, has recently become the
subject of intensive investigation. Whereas past research focused mainly on the …

Finger-tap** tasks are one of the most common paradigms used to study the human motor
system in functional neuroimaging studies. These tasks can vary both in the presence or …

Although functional imaging studies have frequently examined age-related changes in
neural recruitment during cognitive tasks, much less is known about such changes during …

The aim of this study was to examine possible neuropsychological changes in patients with
advanced idiopathic Parkinson's disease treated with bilateral deep brain stimulation (DBS) …

Behavioral studies in humans have shown that bimanual coordination imposes specific
demands on the central nervous system that exceed unimanual task control. In the present …

Whereas behavioral studies have made significant contributions toward the identification of
the principles governing the coordination of limb movements, little is known about the role of …

Motor skill acquisition is associated with the development of automaticity and induces
neuroplastic changes in the brain. Using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), the …
