Journal ArticleDOI
Premotor and parietal cortex: corticocortical connectivity and combinatorial computations.
TL;DR: It appears that this fronto-parietal network functions as a visuomotor controller-one that makes computations based on proprioceptive, visual, gaze, attentional, and other information to produce an output that reflects the selection, preparation, and execution of movements.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cortical Networks for Visual Reaching: Physiological and Anatomical Organization of Frontal and Parietal Lobe Arm Regions
TL;DR: Frontal and parietal regions sharing similar functional properties were preferentially connected through their association pathways, and area MIP emerged as the parietal nodes by which visual information may be relayed to the frontal lobe arm region.
Journal ArticleDOI
Making arm movements within different parts of space: dynamic aspects in the primate motor cortex
TL;DR: Results indicate that motor cortical cells can code direction of movement in a way which is dependent on the position of the arm in space, and movement population vectors computed from cell activity proved to be good predictors of movement direction regardless of where in space the movements were performed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Making arm movements within different parts of space: the premotor and motor cortical representation of a coordinate system for reaching to visual targets
TL;DR: Data suggest that premotor and motor cortices use common mechanisms for coding arm movement direction, and movement population vectors provide a basis for understanding the coordinate transformation required to move the hand toward visual targets in space.
Journal ArticleDOI
Representing Spatial Information for Limb Movement: Role of Area 5 in the Monkey
TL;DR: It is proposed that the superior parietal lobule (Brodmann area 5) might represent a substrate for a body-centered positional code and could be a neural correlate of the psychophysical observation that these spatial parameters are processed in parallel and largely independent of each other in man.
