Hemispheric differences in the relationship between corticomotor excitability changes following a fine-motor task and motor learning.

abstract：:1. We analyzed the activity of single neurons in gustatory cortex of alert cynomolgus monkeys in response to the four basic taste stimuli and to a range of chemicals, all of which are predominantly sweet to humans. 2. We recorded taste-evoked responses from a cortical area that measured 4.0 mm in its anteroposterior e...
