Cerebral impedance changes (F changes) indicating cerebral blood flow variations in the central and precentral areas were measured with a rheographic technique in normal subjects preparing for and carrying out a motor task. The time course of the F changes was studied and several significant correlations were established between the amount of F changes, their distribution and the motor performance. Our findings confirm that frontal and premotor regions play an important part in decision making.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
