Monkey Mk-PM exhibited a brain with PMG whereas the other 10 monkeys had a brain with normal appearance.
Under species, "mul." is for macaca mulatta whereas "fasc." is for macaca fascicularis.
Under ICMS (intracortical microstimulation), "Yes" refers to the four monkeys subjected to ICMS sessions in M1.
BIM + RT: Bimanual reach and grasp task study: assessment of motor performance in the present reach and grasp drawer task (see additional file 1 Fig. S1) with measures of RT's.
RT: Assessment of RT in a former version of the reach and grasp drawer task[11];
SF: Measurement of the Sulcus frequency in the cortex.
RN: Red Nucleus investigation study [17]; Cortex: Cortical anatomical investigation study [20];
SCI: Spinal cord injury study: monkeys used as control intact monkeys in previous studies on spinal cord injury, used here for comparison.
