Aberrant brain activation following motor skill learning in schizophrenic patients as shown by functional magnetic resonance imaging
Background. Motor skill learning may be impaired in schizophrenia. While functional brain imaging studies have shown reduced activation during motor task performance in schizophrenic patients, brain…

The Effect of Handedness on Supplementary Motor Area Activation during Complex Motor Tasks
TLDR
Functional magnetic resonance imaging was used to assess the activity of supplementary motor area (SMA) in right-handed and left-handed healthy volunteers and task complexity was the most important factor influencing the degree of SMA activation.

Reduced recruitment of motor association areas during bimanual coordination in concert pianists
TLDR
Increased efficiency of cortical and subcortical systems for bimanual movement control in musicians may be fundamental to achieve high‐level motor skills allowing the musician to focus on artistic aspects of musical performance.

TLDR
A quantitative meta-analysis of fMRI studies that investigate motor task performance in people with long-term motor training experience and control participants indicates that motor experts have effect increases in brain areas involved in action planning and action comprehension, and suggests that intensive motor training might elaborate the motor representation related to the task performance.

Cerebral activation covaries with movement rate
TLDR
FMRI applied to investigate blood flow- related MR signal changes in response to different rates of repetitive movements of the index finger revealed a significant increase in MR signal over baseline for 1, 2 and 3 Hz finger movements, with a linear effect of rate in the precentral gyrus.
An fMRI study of the human cortical motor system response to increasing functional demands.
Functional magnetic resonance imaging of single motor events reveals human presupplementary motor area
TLDR
Comparison of activation patterns during “go’ and “no‐go” responses reveals hierarchical subdivision of the medial premotor cortex into an anterior region involved in movement decision making and a posterior region directly involved in motor execution.
Motor-learning-related changes in piano players and non-musicians revealed by functional magnetic-resonance signals
TLDR
The involvement of primary and secondary motor cortices in motor learning is dependent on experience and interhemispheric transfer effects are present.
The functional neuroanatomy of simple and complex sequential finger movements: a PET study.
TLDR
The results suggest that sequential finger movements recruit discrete sets of brain areas with different functions, consistent with the hypothesis that these areas function in the storage of motor sequences in spatial working memory.
Functional magnetic resonance imaging of motor, sensory, and posterior parietal cortical areas during performance of sequential typing movements
TLDR
It is suggested that the assembly of well-learned, goal-directed finger movement sequences involves the SMA and other secondary motor areas as well as somatosensory and parietal areas.
Both primary motor cortex and supplementary motor area play an important role in complex finger movement.
TLDR
Not only the supplementary motor area but also the M1-S1 seems to play an important role in the execution of complex sequential finger movements, in agreement with previous electrophysiological findings.
Functional MRI evidence for adult motor cortex plasticity during motor skill learning
TLDR
A slowly evolving, long-term, experience-dependent reorganization of the adult Ml is suggested, which may underlie the acquisition and retention of the motor skill.
Complexity affects regional cerebral blood flow change during sequential finger movements
TLDR
The findings suggest that complex sequential finger movements recruit a discrete set of brain areas, in addition to areas underlying the execution of simple movement sequences, in exchange for an executive role in running sequences, regardless of their length.
Functional magnetic resonance imaging and transcranial magnetic stimulation
TLDR
The results suggest that regions of fMRI activation correspond spatially to areas of highest motoneuron density as demonstrated by electrophysiologic techniques.
