Reference frames for reach planning in macaque dorsal premotor cortex.
When a human or animal reaches out to grasp an object, the brain rapidly computes a pattern of muscular contractions that can acquire the target. This computation involves a reference frame transformation because the target's position is initially available only in a visual reference frame, yet the required control signal is a set of commands to the musculature. One of the core brain areas invo...
متن کاملReference frames for reach planning in human parietofrontal cortex.
To plan a reaching movement, the brain must integrate information about the spatial goal of the reach with positional information about the selected hand. Recent monkey neurophysiological evidence suggests that a mixture of reference frames is involved in this process. Here, using 3T functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), we tested the role of gaze-centered and body-centered reference fr...
متن کاملIdiosyncratic and systematic aspects of spatial representations in the macaque parietal cortex.
The sensorimotor transformations for visually guided reaching were originally thought to take place in a series of discrete transitions from one systematic frame of reference to the next with neurons coding location relative to the fixation position (gaze-centered) in occipital and posterior parietal areas, relative to the shoulder in dorsal premotor cortex, and in muscle- or joint-based coordi...
متن کاملCoding of the Reach Vector in Parietal Area 5d
Competing models of sensorimotor computation predict different topological constraints in the brain. Some models propose population coding of particular reference frames in anatomically distinct nodes, whereas others require no such dedicated subpopulations and instead predict that regions will simultaneously code in multiple, intermediate, reference frames. Current empirical evidence is confli...
متن کاملHuman Posterior Parietal Cortex Flexibly Determines Reference Frames for Reaching Based on Sensory Context
Current models of sensorimotor transformations emphasize the dominant role of gaze-centered representations for reach planning in the posterior parietal cortex (PPC). Here we exploit fMRI repetition suppression to test whether the sensory modality of a target determines the reference frame used to define the motor goal in the PPC and premotor cortex. We show that when targets are defined visual...
