Introduction: The aim of the present study was to investigate cortical activation during mental rotation using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and to evaluate a possible activation of the right hippocampus suggested by earlier studies. Methods: Ten female and ten male healthy subjects were investigated using fMRI (block design, TR 4000ms, TE 50ms, FoV 256×256, 36 slices, slice thickness 3mm). During the activation period subjects were asked to perform a mental rotation task consisting of pairs of identical threedimensional cubes shown from different perspectives (cube perspective test). Subjects wer…
