If one assumes that the lateral congruence between one's own and an imagined agent's handedness can be considered as indicative of a greater involvement of motor areas compared to the lateral incongruence, our results are consistent with previous research suggesting a link between empathic tendencies and the activation of motor-related areas [14] [19], [28] [30].
Statistical evaluation was performed using a Student's t-test to assess a significance of differences and the reliability of localising the motor hand area comparing MRI and fMRI data.
Interestingly, the interspike interval was longer in the putative motor area as compared to the limbic/associative subdivision of the STN (Welter et al. 2011).
HIV+ subjects were impaired for all cognitive-motor ability areas compared with matched, uninfected control subjects.
Power elicited even stronger increases in motor areas as compared with Joy, consistent with the fact that this emotion may enhance the propensity to strike the beat, as when hand clapping or marching synchronously with the music, for example.
Main finding of our study is the in vivo evidence for differential tissue properties within the STN consistent with lower myelin and higher iron content in limbic areas compared with motor and associative functional regions, which is in line with previous imaging and postmortem studies [ Dormont et al., 2004; Massey et al., 2012; Schäfer et al., 2012].
There were also fewer immunoreactive nerve fibers passing the CC of DBZ-KO mice and their projections to the cingulate (Cg) or motor area (Mo) were shorter compared with WT mice.
Are there more powerful connections between the relevant brain systems (including perisylvian, visual and motor areas) in humans compared with their monkey relatives (for recent positive evidence, see Rilling 2014)?
Focal cortical thinning was observed in the primary motor area in patients with ALS compared to controls and was found to correlate with disease progression.
In the non-partial volume corrected group-level analysis, fluorodeoxyglucose-PET hypometabolism was observed bilaterally in superior lateral premotor cortex, particularly involving supplementary motor area, in subjects with PPAOS compared with controls (Fig. 1C).
