The Human Motor System: Principles Versus Plasticity

摘要: The cerebral representations of normal human brain functions and their changes in diseases can be mapped by measurements the regional blood flow with positron emission tomography. It was shown that motor cortical modified learning during recovery from neurological diseases. Also, skill activates premotor parietal areas probably related to processing feed-forward feed-back information. In neonatal lesions cortex may occur abnormal topography outside original gyral locations or even contralateral hemisphere. adulthood appear less plastic but have been described evade across gross anatomical borders slowly progressive disorders. Evidence suggests reorganization apparently develops gradually over time. differs short-term after acute only partial system damage. Data will provided showing compensatory relearning engage identical frontomesial inferior cortex.
