This study aimed to explore the functional coupling between the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system of upper limb. We established a novel imaging-platform to collect the functional images from human brain and upper limb simultaneously. This study disclosed the functional coupling between the peripheral nervous system of upper limb and the brain cortex and demonstrated that peripheral nervous system also involved in the regulation of brain cognitive function and related network changes.
