SLeep and IMagery Correlates (SOMMEIL-IMAGERIE)

This study is designed to determine the neural networks underlying the sleep-related motor consolidation process following motor imagery practice. While beneficial effects of sleep are expected for sequential movement but not for adaptation motor tasks, the corresponding neuroanatomical correlates have not yet been investigated when participants acquired the motor tasks through mental practice. Data should substantially promote how designing motor imagery interventions targeting (re)learning and/or motor recovery in patients suffering from motor disorders.
