Brief Summary
The long-term objective initiated with this study is to determine which brain areas functionally contribute to learning a motor skill. The primary hypothesis of this trial is that premotor cortex (PMC...
Detailed Description
Recent findings in humans suggest that motor sequences are represented in the premotor cortex once learned. Studies in animal models have also shown that the premotor cortical areas encode sequence-sp...
