Brain regions in which motor learning was related to rCBF in the individual groups
Task Variable | Anatomic Location | MNI Coordinates: | T-Statistic (peak) |
Size (mm3) | ||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
X | Y | Z | ||||
Initial Speed | Left Occipital Cortex and Cerebellum | −38 | −86 | −20 | 4.55 | 811 |
Right Caudate Nucleus | 6 | 4 | 4 | 4.77 | 418 | |
Right Medial Temporal-Occipital Junction | 28 | −50 | −6 | 4.13 | 137 | |
Proficiency Gain | Right Occipital Cortex and Cerebellum | 24 | −74 | −18 | 4.88 | 2241 |
Left Temporal Cortex and Cerebellum | −44 | −38 | −16 | 3.97 | 176 | |
Left Cerebellum and Pons | −16 | −30 | −26 | 4.01 | 143 |
Shown are the anatomic location, MNI coordinates, t-statistic, and cluster extent (number of voxels) for regions in which the effect of rCBF was negatively correlated with initial speed and positively correlated with proficiency gain in controls. Results are cluster-corrected at P<0.05
