Motor Training Increases the Stability of Activation Patterns in the Primary Motor Cortex
Figure 2
A) The right primary motor area (M1) that corresponds to the trained left hand from a typical participant (MNI coordinates: x = 40, y = −14, z = 46; t value = 18.3). M1 was defined as the intersection between the functional activation in the localizer scan and the anatomic M1 label in the Juelich Histological Atlas. B) Learning-induced changes in the stability of activation patterns in the M1 for both trained and untrained sequences. C) Learning-induced changes in the mean magnitudes of neural activation for both the trained and untrained sequences. The error bars indicate ±1 S.E.M. An asterisk indicates p<0.05.
