ABSTRACT
Long-term motor skill learning can enhance the interaction of cortex-subcortical neural networks between two hemispheres to induce neuroplasticity better. But understanding the peripheral nervous response associated with neuroplasticity in motor skill learning is still not comprehensive at present. Here, a visuomotor tracking task for eight days was carried out. We scanned hemoglobin in the sensorimotor cortex with functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) and recorded the surface electromyography (sEMG) of three targeted muscles in the performed right hand. Results showed neuroplasticity affected the dynamic muscle activity, and the best connective information between the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system can be detected from the muscle that maximally contributed to task execution. This result provided that neuroplasticity could also influence the peripheral nervous response with a direct evidence.
