  • Title: Shift of activity from attention to motor-related brain areas during visual learning.
    Author: Pollmann S, Maertens M.
    Journal: Nat Neurosci; 2005 Nov; 8(11):1494-6. PubMed ID: 16205718.
    Abstract:
    With practice, we become increasingly efficient at visual object comparisons. This may be due to the formation of a memory template that not only binds individual features together to create an object, but also links the object with an associated response. In a longitudinal fMRI study of object matching, evidence for this link between perception and action was observed as a shift of activation from visual-attentive processing areas along the posterior intraparietal sulcus to hand-sensory and motor-related areas.
