| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Many previous studies reported that newly acquired skills in one arm transferred to the other arm; however, neural substrates of such intermanual transfer have yet to be clarified. In the current study, to reveal the contribution of the primary cortex (M1) to intermanual transfer of motor adaptation during an arm-reaching task, I disrupted M1 activity during movements by transcranial magnetic stimulation and see the effect on intermanual transfer.
I found that intermanual transfer was mediated by uinlateral M1 controlling the untrained arm, and occurs in a trial-by-trial manner. In addition, motor adaptation of the trained arm and intermanual transfer to the untrained arm were observed depending on the direction of dynamical perturbation during the arm-reaching task.
