Cerebral and cerebellar sensorimotor plasticity following motor imagery-based mental practice of a sequential movement

Lacourse et al determine whether motor imagery-based mental practice produces changes in brain sensorimotor processes that are similar to those accompanying physical practice. They found that motor recovery from central nervous system trauma such as spinal cord injury or stroke may involve the use o...

Description
Summary:Lacourse et al determine whether motor imagery-based mental practice produces changes in brain sensorimotor processes that are similar to those accompanying physical practice. They found that motor recovery from central nervous system trauma such as spinal cord injury or stroke may involve the use of compensatory brain sensorimotor processes.
