Brain activity in sensorimotor and prefrontal regions increases with finger movement complexity. This study examined electroencephalography (EEG) changes during complex finger movements, revealing greater brain network communication for more intricate tasks.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Motor Control
  • Cognitive Neuroscience

Background:

  • Cortical regions play a crucial role in controlling complex movements.
  • Understanding brain activity during motor sequences is key to neuroscience research.
  • Task-related spectral power (TRPow) and task-related coherence (TRCoh) are important metrics for brain activity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate cortical region activity during complex finger movements.
  • To analyze changes in task-related coherence (TRCoh) and task-related spectral power (TRPow) during sequential finger movements of increasing complexity.
  • To explore the relationship between movement complexity and brain activity patterns.

Main Methods:

  • Studied 8 right-handed subjects performing 4 finger movement sequences of increasing complexity.

  • Recorded electroencephalography (EEG) power spectra and coherence values in alpha (8-12 Hz) and beta (13-20 Hz) frequency bands.
  • Compared EEG data during movement execution with a rest condition across 29 scalp positions.

    • Main Results:

    • Movement sequences showed decreased TRPow in alpha and beta bands over sensorimotor and parietal areas, predominantly contralateral.
    • Increased TRCoh was observed over bilateral frontocentral regions, while decreases occurred in temporal and occipital areas.
    • Higher movement complexity correlated with greater spatial extent and magnitude of TRPow decreases and TRCoh increases.

    Conclusions:

    • Findings support bilateral sensorimotor area activation during sequential finger movements.
    • Results suggest active intercommunication between bilateral, mesial central, and prefrontal regions, intensifying with movement complexity.
    • EEG analysis provides insights into the neural control of complex motor sequences.
