This award will enable collaborative research between Professor                 Rodolfo Llinas of the New York University Medical Center and                    Professor Kazuo Sasaki of Kyoto University, Japan.  These                       investigators will use magnetoencephalography (MEG) to localize the             site of the onset of prefrontal and motor cortex activity that                  precedes movement in a human subject instructed to produce a well               defined phasic motor response to a short visual stimulus.  Magnetic             recordings in a set of individuals will be compared with the actual             anatomy of the brain as studied with Magnetic Resonance Imaging.                                                                                                The investigators will be applying newly-developed instrumentation              to the study of the human brain.  The use of MEG, as compared to                standard electroencephalography (EEG), should provide better                    localization of neural events preceding and accompanying movement               in humans.  Drs. Llinas and Sasaki bring well-established and                   complementary expertise to this project.  The excellent facilities              of the Medical Center at New York University and the Institute for              Brain research at Kyoto University will be used mutually by the                 investigators.
