title: Functional imaging of the motor system.
abstract: Recent studies of the motor system using functional imaging have served to emphasize the complexity of the control of even relatively simple movements. The results of these studies suggest that the behavioral context of the movement is an important determinant of functional activation within cortical motor areas.
