Caption: Motor area brain activation. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans of the healthy brain of a right-handed 20-year-old man. Four different views are seen showing transverse sections through different levels of the brain. Front of the brain is at top. Motor areas within the brain are seen to be active (coloured areas) during alternate flexing and extension of the right thumb.
