Journal ArticleDOI
Playing piano in the mind--an fMRI study on music imagery and performance in pianists.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the cortical network which mediates music performance compared to music imagery in 12 music academy students playing the right hand part of a Bartok piece using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI).
Journal ArticleDOI
Transcallosal inhibition in cortical and subcortical cerebral vascular lesions
TL;DR: Inhibition was preserved in patients with subcortical lesions, which had destroyed the corticospinal tract, and it is concluded that this inhibition is not mediated through an ipsilateral projection but via a transcallosal route.
Journal ArticleDOI
Motor cortex hand area and speech: implications for the development of language.
TL;DR: The results are consistent with previous findings and may indicate a specific functional connection between the hand motor area and the cortical language network.
Journal ArticleDOI
Localization of the motor hand area using transcranial magnetic stimulation and functional magnetic resonance imaging
TL;DR: The aim of this study was to identify the hand knob using fMRI and to reveal if the anatomical hand knob corresponds to the hand area of the motor cortex, as identified by TMS, by means of a frameless MRI-based neuronavigation system.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of long-term practice and task complexity in musicians and nonmusicians performing simple and complex motor tasks: implications for cortical motor organization.

TL;DR: It is concluded that plasticity due to long‐term practice mainly occurs in caudal motor areas directly related to motor execution, leading to more effective motor representations in pianists.
