We investigated common and specific brain activations in
contra and ipsi-lateral (CL and IL) hemispheres using a
complex motor fMRI task with variable grip force
performed with dominant and non-dominant hands (DH and
NDH) in right handed healthy subjects. We showed there
are: 1) increased activations in more areas at the
highest force when performing the task using the NDH. 2)
More activations in the right hemisphere irrespective of
the hand or force level. 3) Common areas in CL and IL
hemispheres at specific force levels such as SMA. 4)
Consistent bilateral cerebellum involvement when
performing the task using NDH
