PREMOTOR CORTEX AND CONDITIONAL MOTOR LEARNING IN MAN

U. HALSBAND and H.-J. FREUND

Department of Neurology, University of Düsseldorf Düsseldorf, FRG

Correspondence to: Correspondence to: Dr U. Halsband, Neurologische Klinik, Universität Düsseldorf, Moorenstrasse 5, 4000 Düsseldorf 1, FRG.

The role of premotor cortex (PMC) in conditional motor learning tasks in man was investigated. Patients with PMC lesions had to learn to associate 6 different visual, tactile or auditory stimuli with 6 different arm movements which were previously rehearsed (Task A). A comparative task involved an association between the same set of sensory stimuli and 6 spatial locations (Task B). Patients with PMC lesions were only impaired when they had to recall a movement from memory on the basis of a sensory cue (Task A), but not for an association involving spatial location (Task B). This indicates that the PMC plays a role in sensory conditional motor learning.

Received October 21, 1988. Revised March 14, 1989. Accepted May 3, 1989.
