Functional significance of the mu rhythm of human cortex: an electrophysiologic study with subdural electrodes
Open accessAbstract
The existence of the mu rhythm and its general anatomical and physiological relationships are well known. There are few data, however, regarding the details of its anatomical and physiological specificity. We implanted fronto-temporal subdural electrode grids in 9 patients with intractable epilepsy to facilitate their surgical management. A 7-11 Hz cortical mu rhythm was observed in 5-16 electrodes located over the sensorimotor cortex as mapped by electrical stimulation. The mu rhythm was blocked by contralateral face and arm movements, passive movements of contralateral arm, and by ipsilateral arm movements. There was correspondence between the body area movement of which blocked the mu at a given site and the body region that was affected by stimulation at the same site. Power spectral analysis showed an overall decrease in power in all frequency bands. This was less prominent in the 14-100 Hz band resulting in a relative increase in high frequency power in association with movement. We conclude that both the presence and blocking of mu rhythm are specific to the somatic representation of the cortex from which it is recorded. Its functional significance may be similar to other sensory rhythms like the occipital alpha rhythm.

“It also has been reported by the same authors that preparation for movement produces attenuation of the 10-12 Hz activity and increase in high frequency power in the central region of the cortex (Pfurtscheller and Aranibar 1979; Pfurtscheller and Berghold 1989).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
