The aim of the present study was to investigate the cerebral changes following a motor attention training, i.e. exercises that combine both motor and cognitive components. The training consisted in learning a motor sequence; subjects were asked to focalize on movement and kinesthetic perception. Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) was used to assess preand post-training brain activity, in order to detect the effect of the exercises: significant modifications were found in brain areas involved in divided and sustained attention, motor intention and plannin
