Abstract: | Voluntary force production requires that the brain produces and transmits a motor command to the muscles. It is widely acknowledged that motor commands are executed from the primary motor cortex (M1) located in the contralateral hemisphere. However, involvement of M1 located in the ipsilateral hemisphere during moderate to high levels of unilateral muscle contractions (>30% of the maximum) has been disclosed in recent years. This phenomenon has been termed cross-activation. The activation of the ipsilateral M1 relies on complex inhibitory and excitatory interhemispheric interactions mediated via the corpus callosum and modulated according to the contraction level. The regulatory mechanisms underlying these interhemispheric interactions, especially excitatory ones, remain vague, and contradictions exist in the literature. In addition, very little is known regarding the possibility that other pathways could also mediate the cross-activation. In the present review, we will therefore summarize the concept of cross-activation during unilateral voluntary muscle contraction and explore the associated mechanisms and other nervous system pathways underpinning this response. A broader knowledge of these mechanisms would consequently allow a better comprehension of the motor system as a whole, as distant brain networks working together to produce the motor command. |
