Motor cortex hemodynamic response to goal-oriented and non-goal-oriented tasks in healthy subjects by Michele Lacerenza, Michele Lacerenza, Lorenzo Frabasile, Mauro Buttafava, Lorenzo Spinelli, Elisa Bassani, Elisa Bassani, Francesco Micheloni, Caterina Amendola, Alessandro Torricelli, Alessandro Torricelli, Davide Contini

“…Nowadays, in clinical environments, quantitative assessment of motor cortex activities during task execution is rare, due to the bulkiness of instrumentation and the need for immobility during measurements [e.g., functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)]. Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) can contribute to a better understanding of how neuromotor processes work by measuring motor cortex activity non-invasively in freely moving subjects.AimExploit fNIRS to measure functional activation of the motor cortex area during arm-raising actions.DesignAll subjects performed three different upper limbs motor tasks: arm raising (non-goal-oriented), arm raising and grasping (goal oriented), and assisted arm raising (passive task). …”
