| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Human motor learning ability is one of the most important skills not only in sport or rehabilitation but also in daily life. The aim of this study was to investigate brain activities related to motor learning, by using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). Subjects were required to manipulate MRI compatible joystick to move a visual cursor on the monitor, and performed reaching task with visuomotor rotation. I recorded and analyzed brain activities when they learned a novel environment. The results suggested that the regions in the brain were changed by motor learning, and brain activation patterns were different depending on the visual information although subjects’ movements were similar.
