A functional polymorphism of the GTP cyclohydrolase 1 gene predicts attention performance.

abstract：:Previous neuroimaging studies raised the hypothesis that enhanced activity in the ipsilateral motor cortex (M1) plays a contributing role in the compensation for the motor deficits resulting from a spinal cord injury (SCI). However, it is still unknown whether the activity in the ipsilateral M1 directly contributes to...
