[Structural and functional peculiarity of brain activity to performance and imaginary motor tasks in healthy persons (EEG and fMRI study)].
Bioelectrical (EEG) and hemodynamic (fMRI-response) cerebral reactions to performance and imaginary motor tasks by right or left hand were analyzed in 15 right-handed healthy persons (21-39 years old). During actual movement the main fMRI-response was registered in the area of central gyrus of the hemisphere contralateral to the working hand. Areas of activation were also revealed in the supplemental motor area and the ipsilateral hemisphere of the cerebellum. EEG data showed coherence increase in high frequency alpha- and beta-bands in the activated hemisphere. In imaginary motor tasks the intensity and topography of fMRI-response became the more variable; response was decreased in the motor area and in cerebellum, they increased in the subcortical structures and in the parietal association zones. EEG changes were very variable in this situation also; it was observe an increase of EEG coherence in the right hemisphere for higher frequency of alpha and beta spectral bands. Changes of power spectrum parameters were similar to performance and imaginary motor tasks. Spectrum power and middle frequency of beta band were increased. Topographically these changes did not correspond to activated hemisphere and it was more in the left hemisphere. These changes were reflected nonspecific component of reaction.
