Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

During mental practice, such as visualizing or planning a movement, there is increased blood flow to the sensory motor area (SMA), premotor, and frontal cortices, reflecting the brain's engagement and preparation for physical activity. This phenomenon is supported by neuroimaging studies showing activation in these areas during mental rehearsal of actions.
