Neural Networks Involved in Cyclical Interlimb Coordination as Revealed by Medical Imaging Techniques

  • Chapter
Neuro-Behavioral Determinants of Interlimb Coordination

Abstract

During the past years, several studies have addressed the neural basis of interlimb coordination by means of imaging techniques, such as positron emission tomography (PET) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). The general picture emerging from these studies is that a network consisting of the cerebellum, SMA and dorsal premotor cortex becomes particularly activated during demanding interlimb coordination tasks. Additionally, other regions such as Broca’s area, ventral premotor cortex as well as secondary sensory areas appear to become involved when rhythmic interlimb tasks require increased monitoring of the individual limb motions performed in accordance to an imposed rhythm.
