| Research Abstract |
The present study has examined using healthy humans the question of whether the crossed upper limbs effect on the central voluntary drives in humans. A choice reaction time task was utilized, and the motor performance and the motor cortex excitability were assessed. There was a significant difference in performance and in excitability of the bilateral motor cortex between conditions of crossed and uncrossed upper limbs, suggesting the effectiveness of modulating the spatial information of the limbs in the motor recovery of patients with lesions of the central nervous system.
