| Research Abstract |
The capacity to correct an ongoing movement rapidly and precisely and depending on environmental changes is essential for our adaptive behavior. The present study was conducted to clarify the neural mechanisms underlying the proficient movement correction ability observed in expert in sports. The main findings were as follows: 1) movement correction involves some important cognitive processes such as stimulus identification, error detection, and inhibition and/or switching of motor program; 2) these processes occur in the cingulate cortex, mediodorsal nucleus, right inferior frontal gyrus, and pre-supplementary motor area, respectively; and 3) specifically, the inhibition function is strongly related to the proficiency of movement correction in sports.
