Description:
Desmurget et al. (Reports, 8 May 2009, p. 811) applied direct electrical stimulation (DES) to the human cortex to study the origin of movement intention. Their interpretation assumed that DES causes cortical activation, whereas it is possible that it actually evokes deactivation. The lack of certain knowledge about the true effects of DES limits its use for validation of cognitive models.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Karnath, Hans-Otto -- Borchers, Svenja -- Himmelbach, Marc -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2010 Mar 5;327(5970):1200; author reply 1200. doi: 10.1126/science.1183735.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Section of Neuropsychology, Center of Neurology, Hertie-Institute for Clinical Brain Research, University of Tubingen, 72076 Tubingen, Germany.
