X Abstract

We used a functional magnetic resonance imaging motor activation paradigm for both hands and functional connectivity analyses to investigate motor deactivation. These analyses revealed ipsilateral (to the task) postcentral gyrus connectivity with the ipsilateral primary motor cortex as well as contralateral cerebellum for both hands. Analyses using default-mode network nodes as seed regions revealed connectivity patterns similar to previous studies of the default network and therefore provide evidence that this network is demonstrable using a synchronized motor activation paradigm. We did not find evidence suggesting that motor deactivation represents modulation of the default mode network. Therefore, motor deactivation is likely a motor-specific process. Finally, we found no evidence of basal ganglia circuit deactivation, which suggests that the two-pathway hypothesis of frontal-subcortical circuit function may be incomplete.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
