The role of ipsilateral motor areas for movement control is not yet fully understood. The relevance of these areas to the recovery of motor function following a brain lesion is a matter of dispute. It has recently been stated that increased ipsilateral activation following brain damage is maladaptive and hindering the process of recovery. Others have presented evidence that ipsilateral motor areas subserve motor recovery. A recent study published in Experimental Neurology [Lotze, M., Sauseng, P., Staudt. M., 2009. Functional relevance of ipsilateral motor activation in congenital hemiparesis as tested by fMRI-navigated TMS. Exp. Neurol., 217, 440-443.] on patients with congenital hemiparesis presents evidence for the importance of ipsilateral primary motor cortex and dorsal premotor cortex to movement control even in the absence of direct ipsilateral descending output in this special set of patients. This comment briefly summarizes the relevant findings supporting both views and discusses potential causes for the prima facie contradictory findings. (C) 2009 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
