Subjects were trained on a pursuit task in which the target
trajectory was predictable only on the horizontal axis. Half of them
were sleep deprived on the first post-training night
(n = 13). Three days later, functional magnetic
resonance imaging revealed task-related increases in brain responses to
the learned trajectory, as compared with a new trajectory. In the
sleeping group (n = 12) as compared with the
sleep-deprived group, subjects' performance was improved, and their
brain activity was greater in the superior temporal sulcus (STS).
Increased functional connectivity was observed between the STS and the
cerebellum and between the supplementary eye field and the frontal eye
field. These differences indicate sleep-related plastic changes during
motor skill learning in areas involved in smooth pursuit eye movements.
Key words:
functional neuroimaging; functional magnetic
resonance imaging; statistical parametric mapping; functional
connectivity; procedural memory; memory consolidation; sleep; sleep
deprivation; smooth pursuit eye movements
