Postmovement beta-rebounds induced by different intermovement intervals were investigated using magnetoencephalography in 14 healthy participants to test the hypothesis that postmovement motor cortical deactivation over the primary motor cortex depends on movement-related cognitive demands. Shorter latency and lower amplitude in postmovement beta-rebounds over the contralateral primary motor cortex were noted in the short-movement interval movement (repetitive finger lifting). Greater latency span of postmovement beta-rebounds jittering using single-trial analysis in the long-movement interval movement (discrete finger lifting) was observed. The study elucidates that the temporal interval between two adjacent movements reflecting different degrees of cognitive demands can affect postmovement motor cortical deactivation in terms of postmovement beta-rebounds latency and amplitude, and latency span of postmovement beta-rebounds jittering. Postmovement motor cortical deactivation can reflect cognitive demands in addition to motor and somatosensory processing.

Article Synopsis
- Post-task responses (PTRs) are temporary brain activity changes that occur after completing a task, especially noted in beta band frequencies following movement.
- This study investigated PTRs during a working-memory task using magnetoencephalography (MEG) in 20 healthy participants and found that PTRs were present across multiple brain regions, including those involved in higher cognition.
- The results indicated that PTRs increase with cognitive load and are associated with reaction times, suggesting that they are a broader self-regulatory mechanism in the brain, not limited to motor activities.
