Effector specificity in macaque frontal and parietal cortex.
Single neurons in the frontal eye fields (FEFs) and lateral intraparietal area (LIP) of macaques are preferentially activated by saccade- versus reach-related processes. fMRI studies focusing on saccade- and reach-specific activity in human cortex, however, provided conflicting evidence for effector specificity. To gain further insights into effector preferences throughout monkey cortex using t...
متن کاملSelectivity for grip type and action goal in macaque inferior parietal and ventral premotor grasping neurons.
Grasping objects requires the selection of specific grip postures in relation to the objects' physical properties. Furthermore, grasping acts can be embedded in actions aimed at different goals, depending on the context in which the action is performed. Here we assessed whether information on grip and action type integrate at the single-neuron level within the parieto-frontal motor system. For ...
متن کاملReal time decoding of hand grasping signals from macaque pre- motor and parietal cortex
A brain machine interface (BMI) for visually guided grasping would provide significant benefits for paralyzed patients, given the crucial role these movements play in our everyday life. We have developed a BMI to decode grasp shape in real-time in macaque monkeys. Neural activity was evaluated using chronically implanted electrodes in the anterior intraparietal cortex (AIP) and ventral premotor...
متن کاملThalamocortical connections of parietal somatosensory cortical fields in macaque monkeys are highly divergent and convergent.
We examined the organization and cortical projections of the somatosensory thalamus using multiunit microelectrode recording techniques in anesthetized monkeys combined with neuroanatomical tracings techniques and architectonic analysis. Different portions of the hand representation in area 3b were injected with different anatomical tracers in the same animal, or matched body part representatio...
متن کاملMultiple occipital, parietal, temporal, and frontal foramina: a variant of enlarged parietal foramina in an infant.
BACKGROUND Calvarial lesions are often detected incidentally in routine radiology. Most lytic lesions of the skull are benign. Enlarged parietal foramina are benign lesions caused by deficient intramembranous ossification. CASE REPORT An 11 month-old female patient was admitted with a mass on the right of the back of the head. Physical examination showed a soft 5 cm mass area with no palpable...
