Reviewer’s comment concerning ‘‘Abnormal activation of the motor cortical network in idiopathic scoliosis demonstrated by functional MRI’’ (doi:10.1007/s00586-011-1776-8) by J. Domenech et al.

[摘要] Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a multifactorial disorder with more questions than answers when it comes to aetiopathogenesis. Research has focussed on six major areas: genetic factors, central nervous system (CNS) abnormalities, hormones/metabolic dysfunction, skeletal growth abnormalities, biomechanical factors and environmental/life style factors [9].
