Attention and stimulus characteristics determine the locus of motor–sequence encoding a PET study.

TL;DR: PET revealed the effects of stimulus characteristics on the neural substrate of motor learning, and areas supporting motor-sequence learning are contingent on both stimulus properties and attentional constraints.

Sensorimotor mapping of the human cerebellum: fMRI evidence of somatotopic organization

TL;DR: Functional magnetic resonance imaging was employed to determine areas of activation in the cerebellar cortex in 46 human subjects during a series of motor tasks and representations were observed that seem to confirm earlier electrophysiological findings of sagittal zones in animals.

Patterns of regional brain activity differentiate types of anxiety.

TL;DR: The hypothesis that anxious apprehension and anxious arousal are associated with different patterns of regional brain activity is supported and hemispheric asymmetries in brain activity in anxiety are reported.

Are emotions contagious? Evoked emotions while viewing emotionally expressive faces: quality, quantity, time course and gender differences.

TL;DR: It is proposed that the induction of emotional processes within a subject by the perception of emotionally expressive faces is a powerful instrument in the detection of emotional states in others and as the basis for one's own reactions.

Differences in control of limb dynamics during dominant and nondominant arm reaching

TL;DR: Findings strongly suggest that distinct neural control mechanisms are employed for dominant and non dominant arm movements, however, whether interlimb differences in neural strategies are a consequence of asymmetric use of the two arms, or vice versa, is not yet understood.
