Differential Grey Matter Changes in Sensorimotor Cortex Related to Exceptional Fine Motor Skills
Figure 2
Grey matter increase related to occasional foot use.
Areas within the sensorimotor ROI (outlined in blue) showing an increase (p<0.05, uncorrected) in grey matter values for subjects who occasionally use their feet for fine-motor skills when compared to control subjects [T2 vs TC,C]. The green line marks the border between cytoarchitectonic areas BA4 and BA6 based on the Juelich maximum probability maps. Clusters of significant differences are overlaid on the T1-weighted single-subject MNI standard template.
