TLDR
The presence of the neuro-feedback of the activation in the hand motor area not only induces correlations between the visual and motor areas, but also increases basal ganglia involvement and bilateral motor cortex connectivity.
Abstract
Functional connectivity in the resting state based on BOLD functional MRI (fMRI) has been used mainly to observe brain networks while subjects ‘do nothing’. The same principle, however, can be used for any other steady-state brain condition. In this study, we compared the connectivity of the motor area during simple finger tapping with and without real time neuro-feedback of the activation in the hand motor area. The presence of the neuro-feedback not only induces correlations between the visual and motor areas, but also increases basal ganglia involvement and bilateral motor cortex connectivity.

Self-modulation of primary motor cortex activity with motor and motor imagery tasks using real-time fMRI-based neurofeedback

TL;DR: The inability of subjects to modulate M1 proper with motor imagery may reflect an inherent difficulty in activating synapses in this area, with or without NF, since such activation may lead to M1 neuronal output and obligatory muscle activity.

The Potential of Neurofeedback in the Treatment of Eating Disorders: A Review of the Literature

TL;DR: The studies to date that use neurofeedback involving electroencephalography, real-time functional magnetic resonance imaging or near-infrared spectroscopy, and the potential of these technologies as treatments for eating disorders are described.

Stimulating neural plasticity with real‐time fMRI neurofeedback in Huntington's disease: A proof of concept study

TL;DR: It is concluded that neurofeedback training can induce plasticity in patients with Huntington's disease despite the presence of neurodegeneration, and the effects of training a single region may engage other regions and circuits implicated in disease pathology.

Modulation of functional network with real-time fMRI feedback training of right premotor cortex activity.

TL;DR: The finding that the increase in the tapping frequency was significantly correlated with the increase of connectivity between the right cerebellum and the primary motor area/primary sensory area (M1/S1) of the ME-related motor network after neurofeedback training shows the importance of the connectivitybetween the right PMA and left PPL of the MI network for the up-regulation of theright PMA.

TL;DR: It is concluded that correlation of low frequency fluctuations, which may arise from fluctuations in blood oxygenation or flow, is a manifestation of functional connectivity of the brain.

Parallel Organization of Functionally Segregated Circuits Linking Basal Ganglia and Cortex

TL;DR: The basal ganglia serve primarily to integrate diverse inputs from the entire cerebral cortex and to "funnel" these influences, via the ventrolateral thalamus, to the motor cortex.

Tracking the Hemodynamic Responses to Reward and Punishment in the Striatum

TL;DR: An event-related functional magnetic resonance imaging paradigm is developed to identify brain areas that are activated after presentation of a reward and shows differential responses to reward and punishment.
