Journal ArticleDOI
Representation of Visual Gravitational Motion in the Human Vestibular Cortex
Iole Indovina,Vincenzo Maffei,Gianfranco Bosco,Myrka Zago,Emiliano Macaluso,Francesco Lacquaniti +5 more
TL;DR: It is found that the vestibular network was selectively engaged when acceleration was consistent with natural gravity, demonstrating that predictive mechanisms of physical laws of motion are represented in the human brain.
Journal ArticleDOI
Proprioception from a spinocerebellar perspective.
TL;DR: This review explores how proprioceptive sensory information is organized at spinal cord levels as it relates to a sense of body position and movement and develops a different framework that may be more in tune with current views of sensorimotor processing in other central nervous system structures.
Journal ArticleDOI
Internal models of target motion: expected dynamics overrides measured kinematics in timing manual interceptions.
Myrka Zago,Gianfranco Bosco,Vincenzo Maffei,Marco Iosa,Yuri P. Ivanenko,Francesco Lacquaniti +5 more
TL;DR: The results are in accord with the theory that motor responses evoked by visual kinematics are modulated by a prior of the target dynamics, and the prior appears surprisingly resistant to modifications based on performance errors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sophisticated spinal contributions to motor control.
TL;DR: It is made the case that the vertebrate spinal cord has the capacity to solve each of the basic requirements for motor control to a degree that is relevant for normal behavior.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reference Frames for Spinal Proprioception: Limb Endpoint Based or Joint-Level Based?
TL;DR: This study decoupled foot position from limb geometry by applying mechanical constraints to individual hindlimb joints in anesthetized cats and found that the spatial tuning of 37/70 neurons was unaffected by the constraints, suggesting that they were somehow able to signal foot position independently from the specific joint angles.
