  3. The activated brain regions include the primary motor cortex, right posterior parietal cortex, bilateral cerebellum, and some regions in the prefrontal cortex.
  4. The results of fMRI : Contralateral sensorimotor cortexes were weakly activated in 7 stroke patients during the affected hand movement, and obviously activated in ipsilateral posterior parietal cortex.
