Zusammenfassung
Introduction: Electrophysiological studies found traumatic lesions of the prefrontal cortex (PFC) to affect the preparation of self-initiated movements (Wiese et al., Clin. Neurophysiol., 2004). However, a precise localization of the observed effects has not been reported yet. Moreover, previous reports did not account for effects of lesion location. Therefore, the present study utilized functional MRI to investigate the influence of predominantly left or right hemispheric PFC lesions on movement preparation in chronic traumatic brain injury (TBI) patients. Methods: 18 TBI patients with MRI-defined contusions of…
