Abstract/OtherAbstract:
OBJECTIVE: To clarify how the primary sensorimotor and supplementary motor areas are involved in the generation of the rhythmicity of electromyogram (EMG) activity during continuous muscle contraction. METHOD: We analyzed the coherence between subdurally recorded cortical electroencephalograms (EEG) and EMGs of the contralateral wrist extensor muscle during continuous isometric contraction in 8 patients with medically intractable epilepsy. RESULTS: In all subjects, a significant coherence between the primary motor area (M1) and EMG was observed at the peak frequency of 15+/-3 Hz (means+/-SD). In the primary somatosensory area (S1) of 7 subjects and the supplementary motor area proper (SMA proper) of 4 subjects, significant coherence with EMG was observed at 12+/-5 and 15+/-4 Hz, respectively. The time lags revealed by cross-correlogram were 10+/-3, 7+/-1 and 22+/-8 ms in the M1, S1 and SMA proper, respectively, with the EMG lagging in all areas. CONCLUSION: These findings suggest that the rhythmic activity in the SMA proper, as well as in the S1 and M1, is related to the generation of the rhythmicity of EMG activity.
