Analysis of Brain Activation during Motor Imagery Based on fMRI
نویسندگان
چکیده
⎯Brain activation during motor imagery (MI) has been studied extensively for years. Based on studies of brain activations of MI, in present study, a complex finger tapping imagery and execution experiment is designed to test the brain activation during MI. The experiment results show that during MI, brain activation exists mainly in the supplementary motor area (SMA) and precentral area where the dorsal premotor area (PMd) and the primary motor area (M1) mainly located; and some activation can be also observed in the primary and secondary somatosensory cortex (S1), the inferior parietal lobule (IPL) and the superior parietal lobule (SPL). Additionally, more brain activation can be observed during left-hand MI than during right-hand MI, this difference probably is caused by asymmetry of brain. Index Terms⎯Asymmetry, motor imagery, supplementary motor areas.

Introduction: Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is the most common non-traumatic neurological diseases of young adults. MS often reported during ages 20-62. MS affects the various anatomical parts of the central nervous system. Up to 65% of multiple sclerosis patients MS patients suffer from various problems, such as fatigue, depression, pain and sleep disorders. Unlike MRI, that only sh...

Pre-operative determination of the dominant hemisphere for speech and speech associated sensory and motor regions has been of great interest for the neurological surgeons. This dilemma has been of at most importance, but difficult to achieve, requiring either invasive (Wada test) or non-invasive methods (Brain Mapping). In the present study we have employed functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging...
