We investigated oscillatory interaction between magnetoencephalographic signals of the human motor cortex and surface electromyogram from the paraspinal (PS) and abdominal (ABD) muscles. The results were compared with data obtained during contraction of the first dorsal interosseus (FDI) and tibialis anterior (TA) muscles. Significant coherence at 15-35 Hz was observed for both PS and ABD muscles in all subjects but the coherence was weak compared with that for FDI and TA. The cortical sources for both the PS and the ABD coherences were located in the motor cortex between the source areas for the FDI and TA coherences, thereby agreeing with the classical trunk area of the motor homunculus previously determined by invasive studies. The sources were strictly contralateral for PS but bilateral for ABD contractions. Our results indicate that during isometric contractions descending motor commands are modulated by cortical oscillations for both limb and trunk muscles, although the modulation is weaker and may be bilateral for trunk muscles.
